Special police forces enter a home in the Palestinian town of Tura to arrest a man suspected of murdering Israeli Esther Horgen (Israel Police)
Police released footage Monday of last week’s arrest of a Palestinian man suspected in the murder of Israeli Esther Horgen. The suspect was apprehended in the town of Tura in the northern West Bank on Thursday.
The video includes a helmet camera view of the nighttime operation by the Yamam counter-terrorism unit in Tura, as well as later daylight searches by soldiers, and the man being put into a military vehicle.
The man is suspected of murdering Horgen last Sunday and has reportedly confessed and provided details of the crime. Horgen, 52, a mother of six, went for a run in the Reihan forest near her home in the settlement of Tal Menashe on Sunday afternoon and did not return, whereupon her husband, Benjamin, notified the police. Her body, which bore signs of violence, was found in the forest in the early hours of Monday.
