Israel soldier abducted and killed in West Bank | |
(35 minutes later) | |
An Israeli soldier has been abducted and killed by a Palestinian man in the northern West Bank, Israel's Shin Bet intelligence agency says. | |
The soldier was seized on Friday and his body found near the town of Qalqiliya on Saturday, it said. | |
A suspect has been arrested. Shin Bet named him as Nidal Ammer, a 42-year-old man who worked with the soldier. | |
More arrests are expected, it added. The West Bank has been under Israeli military occupation since 1967. | |
The Shin Bet statement says the suspect had confessed to abducting and killing the soldier in the hope that he could trade the body in exchange for the release of his imprisoned brother. | |
The soldier's body was found in a well, it said. |
