A suspected terrorist killed by on Israeli patrol near the Lebanese border last Friday night may have been the murderer of Yosef Rosenfeld, the security chief at Metullah who was that to death last November. A pistol that belonged to Rosenfeld was found on the body of the suspect, identified as a resident of Gaza.
He was gunned down by the patrol while attempting to cross the border into Lebanon near Margaliot in the Kiryar Shemona region. He also carried a bus ticket from Gaza and a large sum of money in Israeli and Jordanian currencies. The slaying of Rosenfeld was unsolved until now. The killers who stole his jeep and abandoned it near Netanya were originally believed to have been smugglers who were surprised by the security guard. Further investigation indicated, however, that they were terrorists.
