Israel: Shooting incident in Bnei Brak
TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — Israeli forces operating in the West Bank have arrested five Palestinians for alleged involvement in a deadly shooting attack in central Israel.
In a statement Wednesday, the military said the suspects were being questioned. Israeli police say the attacker who used an assault rifle to methodically gun down victims from a motorcycle in a central Israeli city was a Palestinian.
The shooter, identified as Diaa Hamarsheh, 27, from the occupied West Bank village of Yabad, was killed by police.
The incident was the third attack of its kind ahead of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.
