Police have arrested a suspect in the car bombing that killed a man in Afula yesterday morning.
The detained suspect is a 38-year-old man from northern Israel, police say.
At the police’s request, the Nazareth Magistrate’s Court imposed a gag order on the details of the ongoing investigation. The order is due to expire on June 10.
Yesterday, two men were killed in separate car explosions that occurred in Afula and on a highway near Or Akiva. Police are probing both incidents.
