The Ofer Military Court extends custody of Ibrahim Mansour, suspected of murdering an Israel Prison Service employee, the Walla news site says.

Mansour will remain in custody for at least eight more days, after admitting to and recounting the murder of 40-year-old dog handler Yochai Avni on July 8 in his West Bank home, the report says.

It is the third time his custody has been extended.
