A brutal murder took place near Jerusalem, with the girl's body found near the city zoo's neighborhood:

An Israeli teenager found brutally murdered in a Jerusalem forest last week was apparently the victim of a terrorist attack, Israeli investigators said Sunday evening.

The Shin Bet internal security agency said Sunday night that based on statements made by the terrorist during interrogation, authorities now believe that the motives for the murder were nationalistic.

“During the course of his interrogation, [the terrorist] reenacted the murder for Shin Bet and police interrogators, and clearly tied himself to the incident,” the Shin Bet said.

Last Thursday night, 19-year-old Tekoa native Ori Ansbacher’s remains were found in the Ein Yael forest, near the Biblical Zoo in southern Jerusalem.

Police found signs of violence on Ansbacher’s body, suggesting she had been assaulted, then stabbed to death.

The culprit was found, and his house is going to be demolished:

Security officials say that Arafat Arifaiyeh, 29, from Hebron has confessed to killing Ori Ansbacher, 19, for nationalistic purposes and he reconstructed the murder for police on Sunday ahead of his arraignment in court.

The investigation is continuing under gag order.

Security officials say that Arafat Irfaiya, 29, from Hebron has confessed to killing Ori Ansbacher, 19, and reconstructed the murder for police on Sunday ahead of his arraignment in court.

IDF troops meanwhile mapped the killer’s home ahead of its likely demolition. Troops entered Hebron before dawn on Sunday to measure the structure “to evaluate ways to demolish it,” the army said in a statement.

Irfaiya was arrested in a joint operation by the IDF, the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) and the Border Police’s Yamam counter-terrorism unit in an abandoned building near the Jamal Abdel-Nasser Mosque in el-Bireh, which adjoins Ramallah, following intelligence received by security forces.

According to reports, authorities received information that he was hiding in the mosque and proceeded to raid it on Friday evening. When Irfaiya was not found, troops confiscated security camera footage from the neighborhood and returned later that night to conduct a second raid on a nearby abandoned building, where he was arrested without putting up a struggle.

The knife he is believed to have used in the murder was found during the arrest.

Irfaiya was arrested less than 48 hours after Ansbacher, from the West Bank settlement of Tekoa, was found naked and with multiple stab wounds in the Ein Yael forest in Jerusalem on Thursday.

The Shin Bet General Security Service said that the suspect “left his home in Hebron with a knife and made his way to the village of Beit Jala,” just south of Jerusalem and from there, he “walked to the forest, where he saw Ori, attacked and murdered her.”

And here's another example of what happens when evil religions aren't done away with.

Update: Netanyahu's made a condolence visit to the victim's family.

Update 2: there was a protest in Tel Aviv calling for the death penalty to be handed down to the murderer.
