Police on Wednesday arrested the suspected driver in a hit-and-run incident a day earlier in the northern city of Haifa in which a 16-year-old girl was killed.
The suspect, a 65-year-old resident of Haifa, was brought before a court for a hearing on the extension of his remand later on Wednesday.
The victim of the incident was named as Nada Adbach, also a Haifa resident.
Abdach was on her way home Tuesday from an Iftar meal breaking the Ramadan fast when she was struck by the driver.
Despite efforts to save her, Abdach was later pronounced dead at the city’s Rambam Medical Center. She was laid to rest on Wednesday.
