IDF sources announced Tuesday night that soldiers recently arrested a terrorist suspected of murdering a Jewish taxi driver in 1997. The terrorist, whose identity has not yet been revealed, was arrested in Jericho.
The taxi driver, Shmuel Oren Ben Baruch, was murdered near Jericho. He was married and a father to four children. The Palestinian Authority arrested three men shortly after Ben Baruch’s body was found, and the men quickly confessed to the crime, saying they had killed Ben Baruch during a robbery.
