| Four Palestinians have been arrested in relation to the murder of 59-year old Dr. Daniel Yaakobi, the Shin Bet cleared for publication Wednesday. All four were arrested in the area of Qalqilya. Yaakobi was a resident of the West Bank settlement of Yakir. His body was found burned in the trunk of a car in a field near the city of Qalqilya on July 27, 2006. He was last seen leaving the settlement in the direction of Karnei Shomron. Two days later the Israel Defense Forces reported that four operatives of al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades, Fatah's military wing, had been arrested in relation to the terror attack but were released shortly after due to lack of evidence. Then, during the months of April and May, the Border Guard arrested the four current suspects: Tayun Tayun, a Fatah operative, his 25-year old brother Ahmad Tayun, 19-year old Amar Nofel, and 26-year old Nassim Jabaiti. Tayun Tayun confessed to the murder during a Shin Bet interrogation and said it had been retaliation for the murder of Islamic Jihad operative Hamada Shtiwi, who was killed by security forces one day earlier. Shtiwi was suspected of planning to smuggle a suicide bomber into Israel. Tayun said Yaakobi had brought his car to his brother, Ahmad's, garage in Qalqilya. He said he attacked and beat him with a wrench and a stick until he fell to the floor, dead. Ahmad and Nofel arrived at the garage to find Yaakobi strewn on the floor. |
According to the testimony, Ahmad then ordered his brother to torch the car with the body inside, which he did with the help of Nofel.
The four then attended Shtiwi's funeral, and upon returning updated Jabaiti on the murder. The four then returned to the garage to wipe clean the scene of the crime and to burn the doctor's personal belongings, according to Tayun
