Israeli police have apprehended a key suspect in the fatal shooting of a Jaffa resident that occurred in late August. The suspect, identified as a Jaffa resident in his early twenties, was detained at the Jordan River border crossing as he attempted to re-enter Israel. The arrest was confirmed by the Israeli Police press service.
The incident took place on August 28 on Sderot Yerushalayim in Jaffa, where armed individuals opened fire on Ahmed Shakra, inflicting critical injuries. Despite being transported to a hospital, Shakra was pronounced dead by medical staff shortly thereafter.
Following the shooting, the Commander of the Tel Aviv District Police assessed the scene and assigned the investigation to Tel Aviv YAMAR investigators. Two accomplices were arrested on the day of the crime, and the vehicle used by the assailants was confiscated.
The third participant in the attack managed to flee the country and reportedly went to Jordan. An arrest warrant was issued for him, and he was placed on a wanted list. Upon his return to Israel, he was immediately detained by police and taken for questioning. Investigators have compiled evidence against all involved parties and submitted the case to the prosecution, which has already filed charges against the first two detainees. Authorities are seeking to extend the suspect's detention period.
