Police arrest 2 suspects in beating of Palestinian stopped by soldier

The Israel Police arrest two Israeli teenagers suspected of attacking a Palestinian man and the IDF soldier who rescued him in the West Bank city of Hebron, police say.

The two suspects are part of a larger group of settler youths who were seen assaulting the Palestinian man before the serviceman rushed in to rescue him.

“Two minors were interrogated on suspicion [that they had carried out] the attack. At the end of their interrogation, the two were arrested,” police say.

No other arrests have been made, according to police.
