The IDF and Shin Bet arrested a Palestinian policeman for shooting and injuring an Israeli waiting at bus stop near Kedumim, the army revealed Wednesday.
Meir Mandelair, a 71-year-old resident of Shavei Shomron, was moderately wounded in the attack, which took place two months ago near the West Bank settlement, west of Nablus.
Iad Ednan Mahmed Daud, a 30-year-old resident of Kalkilya, confessed he was the shooter. Daud was initially arrested and questioned by the Palestinian security services after the shooting, but was released.
