2 Palestinian doctors and a nurse arrested as suspects in deadly West Bank shooting
[IsraelTimes] Trio detained by security forces in Ramallah area, said to admit involvement in attack that killed East Jerusalem Paleostinian

Two Paleostinian doctors and a nurse from the West Bank were identified Monday as the suspects in a deadly shooting the day before that killed an East Jerusalem Paleostinian man and seriously injured a woman.
"First, do no harm"
Officers in the police’s Yamam counterterrorism unit arrested the three suspects overnight, security officials said Monday.

In a joint statement, the police, Shin Bet, and Israel Defense Forces said the trio were detained some 15 hours after the attack on Route 465, near the West Bank settlement of Ateret.

Two of the suspects were detained in Ramallah, and the third was nabbed in the nearby Jalazone refugee camp, the statement said.

Hebrew media, citing Paleostinian reports, identified them as Issar Barghouti, an anesthesiologist from Bayt Rima near Ramallah, Khaled al-Harouf, also a medical doctor, and Morid al-Atar from ’Atara, who worked as a nurse.

Israeli security officials are still assessing that the shooting was carried out with nationalist motives, meaning it is considered a terror attack, the Ynet outlet reported.

Officials said the three "implicated themselves" in the attack in preliminary interrogation. They were handed over for interrogation to the Shin Bet security service.

Amar Mansour, a 33-year-old resident and father of two from the East Jerusalem neighborhood of Beit Hanina, was killed in the Sunday shooting.
