STORYLINE:

Palestinians, in the West Bank village of Dura, on Sunday gathered to mourn the death of Mahmoud Hamedan - the gunman who sneaked into a Jewish West Bank settlement where residents were celebrating the start of the Jewish New Year, knocked on the door of a trailer home and shot and killed a 30-year-old man and a 7-month-old girl.

Islamic Jihad, a militant group, claimed responsibility for the attack by Mahmoud Hamedan, a 22-year-old from Durrah, a village south of the West Bank town of Hebron, according to Israel Radio reports on Sunday.

Israeli Radio said Hamedan was released from an Israeli prison two months ago after serving a 14-month sentence.

It did not say why he had been jailed.

Soldiers guarding Negahot, a settlement near the West Bank city of Hebron, killed Hamedan before he could escape.

The girl's parents were lightly injured in the shooting.
