This is just happened yesterday and the only story I can find on it is here at Yahoo:
I'm not sure why there is such a lack of news reports on this but one other blurb I found at DEBKA says the Israelis are in hot pursuit of two jihadists. This is yet another example of an emboldened Hamas and in my view, this is mainly to blame on the lack of Israeli response to the massacre of Israelis at the seminary in Jerusalem. Hamas saw no significant backlash from that operation and since then, they have abandoned the rocket attacks into Israel in favor of manned operations at the border crossings and attacks like this inside of Israel.
Perhaps this weekend we will finally see the Israelis show some retribution for this. Then again, perhaps not.
JERUSALEM (AFP) - Two Israeli guards have been killed by Palestinian militants in an industrial area on the border between Israel and the West bank, a military spokeswoman said on Friday.
"Two guards in an industrial zone have been shot dead by terrorists," she told AFP. "The army and the police are chasing one, possibly two perpetrators."
Hamas and Islamic Jihad claimed responsibility for the attack, and said in a joint statement the perpetrator had disguised himself as a woman.

Two Israelis killed by Palestinian militants: army
They claimed he is a fighter being sought by both Israeli forces and Palestinian police.
Israeli police said the victims, both men in their 50s, were killed in the Israeli village of Nitzanei Oz, across the border from the town of Tulkarem in the occupied West Bank.
The weapon of one of the guards was stolen in the attack, they said.
According to an AFP tally at least 436 people, most of them Palestinians, have been killed since Israel and the Palestinians relaunched formal peace talks under US auspices at an international conference in November.
