An Israeli couple was killed in a drive-by shooting on the West Bank boundary. The Al-Aksa Brigade, an armed wing of Yasser Arafat’s Fatah movement, claimed responsibility for last Friday night’s attack, which killed Eitan Kukoi, 30, and his wife Rima Novikov, 25, on a road from Hebron to Beersheba. The couple, who lived in the West Bank, is survived by a 2-year-old daughter.
