Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleTwo Arab Israelis have been arrested in connection with a botched robbery and killing of a Palestinian money-changer in mid-November, police say.
According to police, the suspects arrived outside the Tulkarem home of the victim and attempted to rob him as he was sitting in his car with a suitcase containing NIS 300,000 ($80,000).
In the scuffle, the money-changer was stabbed. He was pronounced dead at a local hospital.
The suspects — residents of Taibe and Kafr Kassem — fled the scene, leaving the suitcase behind. Police say the two suspects were later arrested and their remand is extended Tuesday until January 6.
