Defense Minister Benny Gantz says he congratulates police and the Shin Bet security agency over the arrest of Wasim a-Sayed, 34, a Palestinian from Hebron, for allegedly murdering three people in Jerusalem in recent years.

“I congratulate the police and the Shin Bet security agency who got their hands on the despicable murderer of the couple Yehuda and Tamar Kaduri, who were murdered three years ago in the Armon Hanatziv neighborhood of Jerusalem,” Gantz says on Twitter, without mentioning the murder of a Moldovan foreign worker in Jerusalem last month.

“We will persecute anyone who harms the citizens of Israel and bring them to justice — anytime, at any hour, anywhere.”
