Published: 02.25.07, 23:40 Israel News The body of an Israeli settler who was stabbed to death was found not far from his vehicle in a valley near the Palestinian village of Beit Omar in the West Bank, north of Hebron.
A police spokesperson said the man found was 42-years-old, from Bat Ayin, and had been missing since Sunday afternoon.
“Police forces at the scene are not ruling out the possibility that this was a terror incident,” he said.
IDF forces were searching the area.

Jerusalem Police have recently received warnings of possible attempts by terror groups to carry out attacks in the capital.

Last Wednesday a 16-year-old Palestinian was caught carrying a butcher’s knife and a screwdriver in Jerusalem’s Gilo neighborhood, and a few weeks ago Border Guard officers manning the Atarot checkpoint near Jerusalem apprehended a Palestinian youngster who was also in possession of a knife.

Last July the body of Eliyahu Ashri, Jewish settler from Itamar, was found in Ramallah’s Tira neighborhood five days after he was kidnapped by members of the Popular Resistance Committees.
A large IDF and Shin Bet force found the body covered in dirt.
