According to the PA, he was detained along with the body of Arab Israeli Mumin Abu Riyash, 19, who was killed on the spot, and a third suspect who was not reported to have been injured.
The military said last night that troops from the Paratroopers Brigade’s 890th Battalion fired at three people hurling stones at motorists near the Palestinian town of Azzun.
The PA’s official news agency WAFA reported at the time that the three suspects were traveling in a car along the Nablus-Qalqilya road.
