The IDF arrested a Palestinian gunman who opened fire on the settlement of Migdal Oz on Saturday evening, which is in the Gush Etzion area of the West Bank.Security Forces said the terrorist used a homemade gun to fire on a security officer guarding the entrance to the community.The terror suspect has been taken in for questioning. There were no injuries in the attack.
