The Arab driver who struck and killed 42-year-old Hava Ruizin of Immanuel last Thursday has finally been transferred to the custody of Israeli security services by Palestinian Authority police.
The incident took place near the Jewish community of Havat Gilad in Samaria.
The 60-year-old driver, whose name has not been released, fled the scene after hitting the Israeli woman with his car. He later turned himself in to Palestinian Authority police, saying he feared he would be lynched by Israelis.
Israeli security personnel are questioning the driver and continuing their investigation, before deciding whether the incident was an accident or a terror attack. The IDF Spokesperson’s Office said that other areas of the probe are being explored as well.
