2 people were murdered and another person wounded Sunday morning in a terror attack in the Barkan Industrial Park in Samaria.
Initial details found that the shooter, apparently a 23 year old PA resident of the village of Shuweika near Tulkarem who worked at a factory at the park, entered the factory with a rifle, ascended to one of the upper floors and began shooting. A man and woman in their 30s were murdered, while a 54 year old woman was seriously wounded and evacuated to Beilinson hospital in Petah Tikvah by Magen David Adom (MDA) emergency medical responders.
The hospital later announced that the condition of the evacuated woman, who suffered from a stomach wound, was classified as moderate and that her life was not in danger. She was hospitalized for further treatment.
The shooter has escaped. Security forces are searching the area for the suspect.
MDA medics David Baruchi and Neria Ketua described the scene. "When we arrived, there was chaos at the scene. People shouted that there were wounded persons inside, they led us in to one of the rooms, we saw a man and woman of about 30 lying unconscious without pulse and not breathing. We undertook medical checks, they had no vital signs and we were forced to confirm their deaths."
"We searched the scene and found another 54 year old woman under one of the tables. She was fully responsive with a gunshot wound to her upper body. With the help of MDA EMT Hadas Wilps, we extricated her and provided lifesaving medical treatment including hemorrhage control, medications, and we evacuated her to Belinson with severe yet stable injuries. During the evacuation, she was interacting with us, and was able to recount the incident. She also requested that we notify her family, which we did."
Ketua added that "On the way to the hospital, the wounded woman related that she had heard noise and gone outside to understand what was happening, and found herself in front of the attacker, who shot at her."

2. REPORT: QATAR TRANSFERRING FUNDS TO HAMAS - VIA ISRAEL
by Arutz Sheva Staff
Qatar has begun sending funds to Gaza, Lebanon's Al Akhbar reported Saturday.
The transfer has been approved by both the US and the United Nations (UN).
According to Channel 2, Qatar began transferring the funds to Gaza via Israel, while circumventing the Palestinian Authority's authority.
The funds are intended to be used to pay for six months of electricity for Gaza, as well as to pay the salaries of Hamas terrorists in Gaza for the next three months. Channel 2 added that the UN told Hamas that it intends to build a large desalination facility.
Israel also agreed to provide entry visas for 5,000 Gaza merchants, the report said.
Egypt, for its part, promised Hamas that it would loosen requirements for Gazans wishing to cross into Egypt, and said that it would make the technology at the border more efficient. This, Egypt said, would "significantly" increase the number of people and merchandise allowed to cross the border each day.
3. 'OUTRIGHT GENTILES ON WAY TO ISRAEL'
by Mordechai Sones
The government is expected to approve bringing to Israel some 1,000 relatives of Ethiopian Falashmura.
According to the proposal submitted by Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and Finance Minister Moshe Kahlon, in the coming year, non-Jews will be allowed to immigrate to Israel who are family members of those who came by virtue of belonging to the Falashmura community.
Thus, for example, a Christian woman who married a men from the Falashmura community and immigrated to Israel will be entitled to apply for her parents and single brothers if they reside in the Ethiopian immigrant camps and declare intention to convert.
According to the decision, Interior Minister Aryeh Deri and the Population and Immigration Authority will examine the immigration applications and approve them.
A senior legal source involved in the matter explained to Arutz Sheva that the draft resolution introduces a standard that is not approved in regard to Jews in other countries.
The proposal comes with a heavy cost of NIS 183 million, not including the cost of naturalization.
"This is a proposal to bring outright non-Jews who weren't approved in any of the previous waves, even though those waves already blatantly failed with aliyah of people with a weak connection to Judaism, in contrast to the welcome immigration of our Ethiopian Jewish brothers who immigrated earlier," says the legal source.
"Now they're taking the last of the Falashmura wives who immigrated to Israel by virtue of the last wide-reaching decision that MK Neguise got in the 61st coalition, and that their parents can also immigrate with their unmarried children. True, they should belong to the community of those seeking immigration in Gondar or Addis Ababa - but these are people who were found ineligible for immigration in any previous expansive round."
The source notes that previous government decisions explicitly stated no more groups would be brought for aliyah. In 2016, they confirmed another 1,300 and now add another 1,000 who are relatives of the 2016 immigrants who came to Israel due to their proximity to the 2015 immigrants. "There's no end to this, and now the government's decision explicitly states that more than 1,000 will be sent back to the government for further consideration and approval.
"Even worse, this is a precedent that may be applied to immigrants from all over the world. The grandchild clause, and practically - the step-grandchild, is more than expansive enough. But at least today they don't extend the entitlement to parents, siblings, and older children.
"Now even this will break. As the Prime Minister's Office director suggests, spouses of Jewish grandchildren from other parts of the world will also ask to bring their relatives on aliyah. This is an endless chain of relatives. It's essential to stop this decision."
The Kohelet Forum issued its position on the decision: "Anyone whose Jewishness is proven doesn't need this governments decision, since his entitlement already exists in the Law of Return.
"The government's decision to bring the Falashmura to Israel was already an extension that required study. But now they want to bring the Falashmura's non-Jewish family. For example, if a Falashmura married a Christian woman and she and her family joined the Gondar camp, if the couple immigrated to Israel, the woman could demand immigration of her parents and unmarried brothers."
4. ISRAELI NATIONAL TEAM WON'T BE BROADCAST IN JUDEA AND SAMARIA?
by Mordechai Sones
The Israeli Broadcasting Corporation Kann won the broadcasting rights tender published by the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) through the American company CAA11 in November 2017, allowing it to broadcast the national team's qualifying games for the Euro and World Cup.
According to market estimates, the Corporation is supposed to pay about five million euros for the rights, including the possibility of broadcasting the games in Hebrew on Channel 11 and in Arabic on channel 33.
However, this morning Yediot Aharonot reported that a contract signed by UEFA states that rights will be valid in Israel only, not including the "Palestinian territories" that include Judea and Samaria - where there are Israeli cities, towns, and villages - and Gaza. UEFA also did not clarify whether they were referring to eastern Jerusalem.
The demand stems from the fact that the broadcasting rights in the "Palestinian territories" were acquired by a Qatari company. However, the significance for the Corporation is that it will not be possible to broadcast the games in areas such as Ariel and Ma'aleh Adumim.
UEFA told the company a year ago that the desired model is where the broadcast will be received only by Israeli decoder owners - Hot, Yes, Idan Plus, Cellcom, and Partner - and will be locked for direct reception from the satellite outside of Israel.
Kann told CAA11 they would not be able to prevent broadcasts to Israelis living in Judea, Samaria, and Gaza, and stressed that since the broadcast would not be received via open satellite, the demand was superfluous. "The corporation will only sign a contract that will enable it to broadcast to all Israeli citizens, both in Hebrew and in Arabic, regardless of their area of residence," the company representing UEFA was told.
The European Football Association stressed that they understand the Corporation's demand, but a year later they did not produce a contract confirming the request.
Kann declined to comment.
5. BARUCH DAYAN HA'EMET: MORDECHAI KLEIN, FATHER OF 11
by Sponsored Content
Say what you will about the Klein family of Beitar, but you can't say that they didn't have hope.
Mordechai Klein, father of 11, was diagnosed with stage 5 cancer two and half long years ago. His wife Devorah left her job as a sales clerk to help him, and their lives changed forever. After his illness seemed to be responding to treatments, Mordechai was confident that recovery was on its way. Seven months ago however, in a tragic twist of fate, an infection spread throughout his body and he was admitted to the hospital. Their financial situation became dire; he asked friends and family for help with tasks as little as having milk in the fridge.
Above his hospital bed hung a picture of the family at a wedding, beneath which was written the cheerful text, 'We're waiting for you at home.' It was a symbol of their hope for the future, their optimism that their father would beat the disease. Their wait for his return, however, would not end. On Monday night of Sukkot, Mordechai passed away.
He left behind a Rebbetzin and 11 children, 7 of which are still living at home. Entrenched in grief and debt, the Klein family is unable to afford the most basic amenities. The children are without clothing or school tuition, the rent for their modest apartment is beyond their means, and making shabbos is a near impossibility.
17-year-old Chaya Klein has, as many children do in times of grief, risen to the occasion of caring for her younger siblings. She has opened a Chesed Fund page on her family's behalf, in hopes of helping her mother sustain their household.
In the shiva house hangs a new sign, printed on simple white paper: ""Min hashamayim t'nuchamu - From Heaven be consoled."
Surely nothing can diminish their searing pain. Their hunger, however, can be helped. Those who wish to donate can do so here for a limited time.[youtube:2047912]

7. THOUSANDS OF GAZANS TRY TO BREAK INTO ISRAEL
by Elad Benari, Canada
[twittervideo:2047877]
A mob of approximately 20,000 Gazans on Friday afternoon burned tires, threw bombs and grenades, and attempted to break through the border fence with Israel.
The IDF Spokesperson's Unit said that 10 armed terrorists were able to break through the fence and were stopped by IDF forces.
In response, an IDF aircraft carried out two strikes in Gaza.
The Hamas-run "health ministry" in Gaza claimed that two Gazan Arabs, including a 14-year-old boy, were killed by Israeli fire in the clashes along the border.
A further 142 people were wounded including five in a critical condition, a spokesman for the bureau told AFP.
Earlier on Friday, the IDF blocked several roads near the border between Israel and Gaza ahead of the expected clashes.
Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman warned Hamas earlier, "We made it through the Tishrei holidays as we had planned. There was no escalation, and rioters on the Gaza border paid a high price. We are past the holidays now, and I am telling Hamas's leaders: 'Take this into account.'
Hamas responded by calling Liberman's statement "empty words in the face of the Palestinian will to break the siege on Gaza" and vowing that "The Marches of Return will grow stronger."
The so-called "March of the Return" border riots have been ongoing every Friday since March 30, but in recent weeks have become more frequent and have taken place on other days of the week as well.
Senior Hamas official Mahmoud al-Zahar declared on Sunday that the border riots along the Gaza border will continue until they achieve their goals.
"The Marches of Return will not end, no matter how much pressure they put on us," al-Zahar stressed.

8. THAI HOTEL HAS A POPULAR NAZI-THEMED ROOM
by JTA, Arutz Sheva Staff
One of the most popular rooms in a hotel in Thailand is full of Nazi symbols and portraits of Hitler, and Jewish leaders are furious.
The British tabloid The Sun first reported on the reaction to the so-called "Communist" room at the Villa Love Hotel in Bangkok on Wednesday. Alongside the Hitler and swastika renderings on the walls are images of a hammer and sickle.
"This is truly awful," said Efraim Zuroff, head of the Simon Wiesenthal Center. "It's horrendous, absolutely disgusting. It shows a complete lack of knowledge and education about Hitler, the harm he caused and the horrifying crimes that he committed in World War II."
A receptionist at the hotel confirmed that the Communist room is very popular.
"The idea that anyone can view Hitler as some kind of iconic figure worthy of decorating a hotel room with is disgusting," said Rabbi Abraham Cooper, also of the Simon Wiesenthal Center.
