Police arrest woman in suspected vandalism of soldier’s grave

Police announce the arrest of a suspect in the case of vandalism at the grave of an IDF soldier killed last week, during an operation in the West Bank.

The suspect, a 41-year-old woman from Rishon Lezion, is brought in for questioning and tomorrow will be brought before a court for a remand hearing.

The military last week said it found signs of digging around the grave in Beer Yaakov of Sgt. First Class Amit Ben-Ygal, who was killed by a rock thrown from the roof of a building while his unit was making arrests in the West Bank village of Yabed.
