Israel arrests PA security officers over 2011 settler death
Israeli forces detained three PA security officers overnight Tuesday accused of being involved in the 2011 death of a settler in Nablus, locals said.
............................................................................
In 2011, settler Ben-Yosef Livnat, 24, was shot dead and four others injured by PA security forces after trying to enter Joseph's Tomb in Nablus without coordinating with Palestinian or Israeli security officials.
Israeli security officials speaking on condition of anonymity told AFP that an initial investigation showed the settlers had tried to bypass a Palestinian patrol in a parked jeep, prompting the police to fire first in the air and then open fire on their vehicles.
