Israeli police say they have arrested all three suspects in an alleged gang rape in Ramla. The investigation is ongoing.
Israeli police announced on Thursday evening that they have completed the arrest of all three suspects in the alleged gang rape in Ramla. This development follows earlier reports on Wednesday that detailed arrests of multiple suspects and a court remand extension.
On Wednesday July 8 at 13:40 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported that the group of suspects had been arrested by Gideonim fighters. Shortly after, a fifth suspect was arrested in Yatta. Later that day, a court extended the remand of West Bank residents by four days. The source of the information evolved from initial reports to police confirmations.
The case has focused attention on the involvement of illegal workers, as The Zioneer reported on Wednesday. The suspects were described as having fled to the Palestinian village of Yatta before being tracked down.
It remains unclear how the current tally of three suspects relates to the earlier reports of five. The police have not specified whether the three are the same individuals or if the case has been narrowed. The investigation is ongoing.
