Two Israelis, including an 18-year-old IDF soldier from the Jordan Valley, were arrested Sunday on suspicion of involvement in an August 29 incident in Qusra, near Shechem, in which Israelis allegedly entered a Palestinian home while a family was inside. Police said a second suspect, a 19-year-old from northern Judea and Samaria, was found with a knife, switchblade and tear gas. The arrests were carried out jointly by police and the Shin Bet, with Military Police involved in the soldier’s arrest. Both suspects were taken for questioning and are expected to appear before a judge for detention hearings.
