Along with two Palestinians, a third suspect in the shooting attack earlier today in the Jordan Valley is an Israeli citizen from the Galilee town of Jadeidi-Makr, a senior IDF officer tells reporters.
According to the officer, the three are relatives — a father, a son, and a nephew.
Israeli security forces captured two of the suspects shortly after the attack and the military said troops were searching for additional members of the cell.
Palestinian media identified the two captured suspects as Palestinians from the Jenin area.
The third suspect, the father, fled the scene before soldiers reached the area to arrest the pair who were wounded after the car they were driving caught fire.
