Tel Aviv, July 7 (RHC)-- The deadly Israeli attack on Gaza comes amid heavy unrest in the West Bank and in Arab towns inside Israel over last week’s abduction and murder of Palestinian teenager Mohammed Abu Khdeir.
After days of clashes, Israel on Sunday arrested six Israeli suspects in connection with Khdeir’s death. Reports out of Israel today say three of the suspects have confessed. The Palestinian Authority’s Attorney General said an initial autopsy found burns on 90 percent of Khdeir’s body, suggesting he was burned alive.
It is widely believed Khdeir was killed in an act of revenge for the murders of three Israeli teenagers whose bodies were found last week in the West Bank.
