The suspect was captured in a joint operation by the Israel Police and Shin Bet internal security service. The suspect was transferred to Shin Bet for interrogation.
The 47-year-old victim, Yitzchok Dahan, suffered serious head wounds after being stabbed on Tuesday morning while crossing a pedestrian bridge on Highway 4 in Givat Shmuel, near Bnei Brak.
Yitzchok’s wife, Yael, told Israeli media that her husband was walking to Shacharis when he was attacked, suffering multiple fractures. The couple have six children.
The suspected terrorist attack comes after Israel suffered from a wave of terrorist attacks between mid-March and the beginning of May that left 19 people dead.
Israel launched nightly counterterrorism operations in the West Bank in response to the terrorism wave that is still ongoing.
