Eighteen-year-old Eliyahu Asheri, from the settlement of Itamar, was found dead by Israel Defense Forces late Wednesday night in the A-Tira neighborhood of Ramallah.

The location of Asheri's body was tipped off to the IDF by a Palestinian militant arrested by the police anti-terror unit and IDF troops on Wednesday.

Shin Bet agents and special IDF troops found the body buried in a field around 2:30 A.M. Thursday, and determined that he was shot in the head soon after he was kidnapped on Sunday.

Soldiers arrested a militant in connection with the murder early Thursday morning.

2. The death of an

innocent teenager is tragic and my condolences go to his family but, how many Palestinian lives will it take to avenge his death 10, 100, more? From the Haaretz poll Israelis are in favor of this. At least one of perpetrators has been arrested but even if all of them are that will not be good enough. The Israeli moral high ground is becoming a valley.
