How the IDF Found the Elad Murderers
(Ha'aretz-Jerusalem Post) Amos Harel - Traces of blood were found on banknotes discovered on Saturday in an open area near Elad by a reserve unit of experts in tracking and search operations. The unit was established in the wake of the search for the three teenaged boys who were killed in Gush Etzion in 2014. DNA testing concluded that the blood belonged to one of the suspects, who was wounded while his victims attempted to defend themselves. Assigned to search the area, the deputy commander of the elite Maglan unit said he noticed a pile of weeds that was laid on the ground conspicuously, near other greenery, "and then I noticed that the weeds were rising and falling, at the pace of someone breathing." The commander and his soldiers then discovered the two men. The Israel Security Agency "began interrogating them, and they admitted that they carried out the terror attack."
