Jerusalem, May 8 (UNI/Xinhua) Two Palestinians suspected of killing three Israelis in a knife attack have been arrested after a three-day manhunt, the Israeli security forces said on Sunday.
According to a joint statement issued by the Israeli military, police and Shin Bet internal security agency, the two were captured from a forest near Elad, an ultra-Orthodox Jewish city, where they killed three men and injured four others on Israel’s Independence Day on Thursday.
The two are 19-year-old and 20-year-old residents of Jenin area in the north-occupied West Bank, Israel’s state-owned Kan TV news reported.
The incident came amid heightened tensions over a string of clashes between Palestinian worshipers and Israeli police in the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in recent weeks.
