Report: 2 Palestinians arrested in rape case of 7-year-old one month after initial suspect released

Two Palestinians from the village of Qibya have been arrested on suspicion that they were involved in the alleged rape of a 7-year-old Israeli girl earlier this year at a central West Bank settlement, Hebrew media reports.

It is not immediately clear how the pair was involved in the incident.

Last month, police dropped their indictment against Mahmoud Qadusa, who had been the central suspect in their case. He had been arrested for over 50 days before police released him without pressing charges.
