JERUSALEM: Israeli forces have arrested a Palestinian suspect in a drive-by shooting that killed two Israelis in the West Bank, the internal Shin Bet security service said Sunday.

It said forces also seized a weapon and a vehicle used in the shooting, and that the suspect admitted to involvement in Friday’s attack, which killed a rabbi and his son as they were driving with family south of the city of Hebron. It was not clear when the suspect was detained.

The shooting Friday was the latest escalation in two months of attacks, mainly stabbings, which have killed 14 Israelis.

At least 81 Palestinians have been killed, of whom Israel says 51 were involved in assaults.
