IDF Soldiers Arrested Over Link To 'Price Tag' Attacks In West Bank

[Purveyor]

Israel Defense Forces spokesman said on Tuesday that three soldier had been arrested Monday on suspicion of involvement in the recent ‘price tag’ attacks in the West Bank, with two other soldiers arrested as well.

The suspect is a known West Bank activist, who was also recently investigated for forging an official document, in an unrelated case. He is linked to sabotaging IDF vehicles in the West Bank base of the Benyamin brigade, where he served up until two months prior to a price tag attack of the facility.

The arrests come two days after seven young, female Jewish settlers, six of them minors, were arrested by Israeli police on suspicion of vandalizing army property and participating in an incident last summer near the West Bank settlement of Shiloh, in which Palestinian-owned olive trees were damaged.

In October, Military Police investigators arrested an Israeli soldier following suspicions that he had leaked IDF operations in the West Bank to Jewish settlers.
