Security forces last night arrested four Arab Israelis who fled to Ramallah after allegedly murdering a security guard in Lod last week, police announce.
The four are suspected of involvement in the shooting of 54-year-old Pavel Rozov, who was on his way to work at the city’s police station Friday evening when he was hit with a round of bullets, killing him instantly.
IDF soldiers and police officers in the police force’s Yamam counterrorism unit arrested the four suspects based on intelligence provided by the Shin Bet, a law enforcement spokesman says.
Officers detained the suspects for interrogation in the Central District police’s investigations and intelligence unit. They will be brought to court later today where cops will request to extend their remand.
Police previously announced Saturday that they arrested five others on suspicion of involvement in the murder, including two women, who were probed for allegedly aiding Rozov’s killers.
