Breakthrough in Shmerling murder uncovers Palestinian terror

Investigation of the murder of Reuven Shmerling from Elkana on his 70^th birthday on Wednesday has turned up evidence of a Palestinian terrorist crime. A court gag order covers details of the case. When Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu pledged, after the victim’s beaten body was discovered in the Israeli Arab town of Kafr Qassem, that no effort would be spared to catch the killers, he had been apprised of this evidence.
