Alaa Rateb Qabaha, from the village of Barta’a, to the west of Jenin, is a Palestinian young man suspected of ramming his car, killing two Israeli soldiers and injuring two others at an Israeli military checkpoint near Jenin.
Israeli army and police raided his home, searched it and interrogated members of his family.
It is still unclear whether the incident was a car ramming attack or a mere traffic incident.
Qabaha himself was shot and injured by the soldiers just after the deadly incident. He was moved by the soldiers to a hospital in Israel for medical treatment.
