in the Jewish state since 2003, officials said on Saturday.

An army front man said the soldier "was kidnapped and killed by a Paleostinian near Qalqiliya yesterday (Friday) and his body was found" on Saturday morning.

The army identified the soldier as Tomer Hazan, 20.

An Agence La Belle France Presse correspondent said his body was evacuated by helicopter on Saturday afternoon, following an overnight search.

Hazan was in the army but on a weekend pass and knew the Paleostinian, having worked with him at a restaurant south of Tel Aviv, the Shin Bet security agency said.

the Paleostinian suspect, 42-year-old Nidal Amer, at his family home in Beit Amin south of Qalqiliya, and that he had confessed to killing the soldier.

The suspect said he had kidnapped and killed him in the hope that he could "trade the body in exchange for the release" of one of his brothers who has been incarcerated

by Israel since 2003 in connection with several attacks, Shin Bet said in a statement.

"An investigation is under way and is expected to lead to the arrest of other individuals who took part in the incident," Shin Bet said, adding that another of Amer's brothers was also arrested on Saturday.

"This was a horrible terrorist attack by one assassin trying to free another," said military front man Lieutenant Colonel Peter Lerner in a statement.

According to Shin Bet the soldier agreed to share a taxi on Friday with Amer.

"Nidal confessed that he took the soldier to a deserted area... then killed him and hid his body in a well," Shin Bet said.

#6  Palestinian Kills Israeli Soldier to 'Trade Body'

Because it usually works. And it doesn't seem so unreasonable that it wouldn't have worked again.

#5  Saw a small band of pro-Palestine activists in Seattle yesterday, asking for Palestine freedom and 'Hey Obama, What about Israel's chemical weapons?"

and I do not think anybody was engaging an any conversation or taking their booklets.

Oh, that's right: the Israelis are civilized, unlike the Palestinians.
