Police in the West Bank arrested two suspects in the fatal shooting of a man in Lod earlier this summer, law enforcement announces.
The two men, in their 20s and 40s, were nabbed by members of the police’s elite Yamam counter-terrorism unit during an overnight raid in a Palestinian village.
The pair are suspected of involvement in the killing of 22-year-old Muhammad al-Qadim on July 17 during a fight that broke out in the central Israeli city of Lod. The pair fled to the West Bank in the wake of the homicide, police say.
The men will be brought to the Rishon LeZion Magistrate’s Court by police, who say they will request to extend their remand.
Police previously arrested two other suspects hours after the shooting, catching them near an event hall in the city and confiscating a gun in their possession linked to the homicide.
