In less than a day, the civilian counter-terrorism unit (Yamam) managed to apprehend the perpetrators of the shooting attacks in Hebron, in which Bat-Sheva Nagari, HY"D, was murdered, and Aryeh Unger was injured.
In a joint statement by the General Security Service, IDF, and Border Police, it was announced: "It is permitted to disclose that following joint intelligence and operational activity led by the General Security Service, IDF, and Border Police, last night two Palestinians, family members and residents of Hebron, were arrested by the civilian counter-terrorism unit on suspicion of carrying out the shooting attack that occurred yesterday morning near Hebron, in which Bat-Sheva Nagari, HY"D, was murdered, and another Israeli civilian was injured."
In their initial interrogation, both suspects implicated themselves in carrying out the attack. Following their arrest, the weapon that likely served for executing the attack was seized. The suspects have been transferred for further investigation by the General Security Service.
The preliminary investigation of the Har Hevron attack indicates a recurring pattern in the modus operandi of shooting attacks on roads. Once again, a vehicle of the assailants overtakes an Israeli vehicle and opens fire with a long burst. Over 20 impacts from an M-16 rifle were identified on the car.
