MOSCOW (Sputnik) - The Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) detained on Sunday four people suspected of having carried out an attack that claimed the life of one Israeli man earlier this week.
"The 4 suspects, and the weapon used to carry out the horrific attack last week, were caught overnight. In this shooting attack, 2 civilians were injured and one killed. We will continue operating to maintain security in the region," IDF said on Twitter.
On Thursday, three Israelis travelling in a car were shot at by Palestinian gunmen near the Israeli settlement of Homesh in the West Bank. One of the victims, 25-year-old Yehudah Dimentman, died from sustained injuries leaving behind a wife and a nine-month-old baby.
"I commend the ISA [Israel Securities Authority], the IDF and the Israel National Counter-Terrorism Unit [Yamam], on quickly bringing this to a close, with multiple units cooperating and acting in concert, which led to the capture of the terrorists who carried out the attack in Samaria," Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett said in a statement published on his website.
Bennett visited the ISA special operations forward command centre overnight where he closely followed the operation to capture the suspects.
On Saturday, a Palestinian woman was arrested on suspicion of stabbing an Israeli citizen near the entrance to the religious site of the Cave of the Patriarchs, in Hebron. Last week, a Jewish woman was stabbed in Jerusalem while walking with her children.
