1. The terrorist who last week ran over to death the Kafir fighters, Elia Hillel and the late Diego Hersaj, turned himself in shortly after the attack to the Palestinian police station in Nablus.
The terrorist, a resident of the Nablus area in his 40s.

Sources in the Palestinian security mechanisms told the IDF radio that the terrorist claimed that it was a car accident, and not an attack.

2. He was held for a little over a day by the Palestinians, and at the same time - the security mechanisms of the Palestinian Authority proposed to the Shin Bet to establish a joint investigation committee of the incident, and in the meantime he will remain detained with them.

In Israel they did not in any way agree to a joint investigation and did not accept the claim that it was an accident, and demanded the immediate extradition of the terrorist to the IDF.

3. The security mechanisms of the PA feared that the IDF would invade the Palestinian police station - and released him on Friday morning.

Since the terrorist escaped, apparently he has not returned to his home, and has been roaming freely for 3 days. The IDF and the Shin Bet are hunting him, and are trying to get their hands on him - after he had already been held in custody for a whole day in the Palestinian Authority.

The Israel Defense Forces and the Shin Bet responded:

The security forces are constantly working to arrest terrorists, including the arrest of the terrorist suspected of murdering the two fighters.
