| [IsraelTimes] A Palestinian suspected of carrying out a deadly shooting attack in the West Bank 17 years ago was detained by troops, Israeli defense authorities say. In a joint statement, the IDF, Israel Police and Shin Bet say that the detained Palestinian, Ali Dandis, is suspected of carrying out the 2007 Nahal Telem shooting, in which two off-duty soldiers, Ahikam Amihai and David Rubin, were killed while on a hike. Dandis is also suspected of carrying out a shooting attack in 2012, which did not cause any injuries, according to the Shin Bet. Dandis and another assailant had turned themselves in to the Palestinian Authority security forces following the attack. The PA sentenced them to 15 years in prison. Dandis was held in a PA jail for several years, and he was detained earlier today in Bethlehem by members of police’s elite Yamam unit, after he was found to be outside of jail, according to the Shin Bet. |
