Israeli forces capture two Palestinian axe killers

The two Palestinian terrorists who with savage axe blows murdered three Israeli men, Oren Ben Yiftah, Elad Boaz Gul and Yonatan Havakuk, and injured five in the central town of Elad on Independence Day were captured three days later on Sunday morning. Assad al-Rifai and Soubhi Abu Shakir were still hiding in Israel not far from the scene of their crime in the Nahshonim forest between Elad and the town of Rosh Ha’Ayin. The police, Shin Bet and the IDF jointly announced the capture. The fugitives were picked up in a state of exhaustion without food or water
