Israeli police from the Judea District arrested four suspects on Monday morning in connection with a violent attack near the Mikha Avraham outpost that injured a shepherd and two youths. Two women who attempted to evade forces were detained for questioning; police will seek to extend the suspects' remand.
Monday morning's arrests come less than an hour after the initial attack was reported. Police from the Judea District apprehended four suspects and detained two women for evading troops near the outpost. The investigation is ongoing. The identity of the victims (a shepherd and two youths) and the motive remain under investigation, though the incident occurred in an area where Bedouin and Israeli settler tensions have surfaced previously. As The Zioneer reported at 07:22, the earlier investigation had identified Bedouin suspects from the Rashida diaspora; the current arrests do not specify the suspects' affiliation.
