Earlier in Sunday, a 42-year-old security guard was seriously wounded after Palestinian terrorists gunned him down at the joint Israeli-Palestinian tank farm where he was employed in the West Bank. The guard was exiting the second-floor balcony where the facility's bathrooms are located when three or four attackers in a passing car opened fire at him... The facility is a transfer point where gasoline from Israel is transferred to PA distributors... Doctors said the shooting victim remained in extremely serious condition on Sunday night. His condition still had not stabilized, and doctors emphasized that he was still fighting for his life, after losing a leg and an eye, as well as sustaining severe head wounds.

Due to the level of danger, few people are willing to work as security guards at the site. But the worker, a new immigrant, had been employed there for around a year. Witnesses said they saw the car involved in the shooting speed off towards the nearby Palestinian village of Dir Kadis.
