Israeli authorities detain two suspects behind Elad stabbing operation

Israeli occupation authorities announced today the detention of two Palestinians suspected of carrying out the fatal stabbing operation late Thursday evening in the Israeli settlement of Elad, to the northeast of Tel Aviv.

An Israeli police statement said As’ad Yousef Refai and Sobhi Imad Sbaihat were arrested in a wood near the settlement after three days of manhunt following the operation, which resulted in the killing of three Israeli settlers and the injury of many others.

The two are said to be residents of the village of Rummaneh in the northern West Bank province of Jenin.
