How the headlines differ
Most outlets lead with a suspect's arrest ('netzar chashud'), while Haaretz uniquely reports a detention extension; Arutz Sheva and Now 14 name the case 'Prinuk' and specify a southern resident, Kikar HaShabbat adds his age (40), and verbs range from 'arrested' to 'poisoning' versus 'drugging' or 'contamination'.
