Israel’s Shin Bet intelligence agency revealed Thursday that it had arrested a Palestinian man who was allegedly responsible for a 2006 bomb attack that killed an Israeli soldier.
According to Ynet Alam al-Ra’i 42 a resident of Nablus was arrested for carrying out at least two shooting attacks at Israeli occupation forces (IOF) near Youssef Tomb on the outskirts of Nablus and in other areas nearby in April.
During his interrogation the Shin Bet found al-Ra’i was part of a cell that set off a bomb during a raid in Nablus on July 17 2006 killing Staff Sgt. Osher Damari 20 and wounding several other soldiers.
The Shin Bet said al-Ra’i was responsible for several more attacks between 2005 and 2007 and in later years committed dozens more shootings and explosive attacks some of which wounded IOF troops.
