Shin Bet makes 2 arrests in murder of IDF soldier at Arad bus station
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe Shin Bet security service reveals that it arrested two Bedouin Israelis suspected of murdering IDF soldier Ron Yitzhak Kokia last week in the southern city of Arad.
The suspects were arrested on Friday night, but a gag order, now removed, prevented it from being reported.
The Shin Bet describes the stabbing as a terror attack, wit the suspects acting from “nationalistic motivations.”
The suspects returned Kokia’s service weapon, which they had stolen after stabbing him.
“The investigation of the suspects continues,” the Shin Bet says.
