The terrorists who carried out the deadly shooting near Ma’ale Adumim are identified by the Shin Bet as Muhammad Zawahra, 26, and his brother Kathem Zawahra, 31, both residents of the Bethlehem area village of Ta’amra, and Ahmed Al-Wahsh, 31, a resident of Za’atara, also in the Bethlehem area.

Kathem Zawahra had been previously jailed for entering Israel illegally, the Shin Bet says.
