Police say they found the burnt corpse of a woman yesterday, likely an Israeli citizen, in the Palestinian town of Al-Ram, just north of Jerusalem.

After looking further into the circumstances of the woman’s death, police say “the woman apparently has an Israeli ID.” Officers suspect that she was killed in a violent criminal incident and not terror.

Many Israeli Arabs have ties to Palestinians and sometimes visit Palestinian towns. Police have not said whether the woman is believed to be Arab or what the circumstances of her death are thought to have been.

The body was transferred to police’s forensics department for further examination, a spokesman says.
