Police have arrested two southern residents on suspicion of being involved in the murder of Sami Amsalem, who was working as a police agent in the late 90s and disappeared in 2000.

Investigators have been working on the case for years, first as a missing person case, then as suspected murder. They recently received new information that may have led them to Amsalem's body.

Authorities have placed a gag order on revealing further information about the investigation and the suspects.
