The Arabs48 news website quoted Israeli sources stating that the six Jewish Israelis, who have been arrested in connection with the abduction, torture and brutal killing of Palestinian teen, Mohammad Abu Khdeir, have carried out a premeditated murder, pushed by nationalistic motives.
The sources said the suspects are practically tying themselves to the crime whenever they talk to the interrogators, and affirmed that the killing of Abu Khdeir, who was eventually burnt to death, did not just happen, but was a premeditated crime.
After being kidnapped by fanatic Israelis, Abu Khdeir, 16, was taken to a forest in Jerusalem, where he was tortured and burnt to death.
One of the six Israelis confessed to being involved in the crime, and directly linked the five other Israelis.
The Police believes that six Israeli fanatics are the perpetrators due to the overwhelming evidence against them, but claims the murderers “are not connected to any extremist right wing group.”
It said the six are friends, most of them underage, and that there is enough evidence to convict them.
An Israeli security official said the killers are Jewish extremists, and that it is believed they are also connected with the botched abduction of a Palestinian child, 9 years of age in occupied Jerusalem, before they managed to kidnap Abu Khdeir later on.
The Arabs48 said the Israeli Internal Security Agency tried to pressure the family of Abu Khdeir into stating that the motive of the killing was criminal.
The family refused the Israeli pressures, and even handed the police a surveillance tape showing fanatic settlers kidnapping Mohammad.
The Police gradually retreated from its initial stances and demands, and said the attack “was likely pushed by nationalistic motives”. An Israeli security officer said he believes “the chances are %70-80 that attack carried a nationalistic motive”.
The Arabs48 said the time it took between the abduction of Khdeir, and locating his burnt body was approximately two hours, while one of the investigators said the police managed to know what happened in those two hours.
The autopsy also revealed that the child was still breathing when he was burnt, especially since charred materials were where found in his esophagus and lungs.
In addition, first to fourth degree burns covered around %90 of Abu Khdeir’s body, while his skull was fractured, indicating he was struck on the head.
Two days ago, Palestinian General Prosecutor, Mohammad Abdul-Ghani al-‘Oweiwy, stated autopsy confirms the child was burnt alive.
Israeli Police Arrest Suspected Murderers of Mohammad Abu Khdeir

The Israeli police have arrested, this morning in Jerusalem, individuals suspected of kidnapping and killing Mohammad Abu Khudeir, according to media reports and Israeli officials.
"Apparently, the people arrested in relation to the case belong to an extremist Jewish group," an official said to reporters with Haaretz newspaper. The paper reported six arrests in connection with the case.
The kidnapping and brtual murder of the young Palestinian, on Wednesday, has led to four straight days of protests riots beginning in annexed East Jerusalem, according to several local media sources.
By Saturday, the violence had spread to more than half a dozen Palestinian towns within the region.
The Israeli police have refused, until now, to officially confirm that the killing was in revenge for the murder of three Israeli youths in the West Bank last month, the PNN reports.
Mohammad Abu Khdeir was kidnapped last Wednesday, at dawn, near his home in Shu'fat, by a group of right-wing Israelis. His body was found hours later in the Jerusalem Forest. Initial autopsy reports show that he was tortured and burnt while still alive.
The identities of the suspects, as well as details about the investigation or the circumstances of the arrest, so far have not been revealed.
3 Israelis in custody 'admit Palestinian teen murder'
Three of six Israelis held over the abduction and killing of a Palestinian teenager last week have confessed to the murder, a source close to the investigation said on Monday.
"Three out of six suspects in custody have confessed to the murder and burning of Muhammed Abu Khdeir, and performed a re-enactment of the crime" in front of officers, the source told AFP, requesting anonymity.
Israel arrested six Jewish extremists on Sunday in connection with the killing of 16-year-old Abu Khdeir on July 2, in a gruesome attack that triggered days of clashes in East Jerusalem and Palestinian towns in Israel.
The attack is believed to have been in revenge for the kidnap and murder of three Israeli teenagers in the occupied West Bank last month, and the twin attacks have ratcheted up tensions throughout Israel and the occupied Palestinian territories.
Authorities have placed a gag order on most aspects of the investigation into Abu Khdeir's murder.
But Honenu, a legal organization which defends right-wing Jewish extremists, said it was representing six people -- three of them minors -- whose remand was extended by the Petah Tikva magistrates court, just outside Tel Aviv, on Sunday.
Attorney General Muhammad Abd al-Ghani Uweili told Ma'an Saturday that Abu Khdeir's autopsy showed soot in the victim's lungs and respiratory tract, indicating he was burnt alive.
Israeli commentators on social media falsely circulated rumors that Muhammad had been killed as part of a family feud, or because he was gay, following news of his murder.

Two Palestinians were killed Sunday when an Israeli man ran them over with his vehicle in northern Israel's Haifa city, eyewitnesses said, as tensions continue in the occupied territories.
The two Palestinians were run over by a Jewish settler after they had pulled over on a highway near Haifa to check an apparent malfunction in their own vehicle, according to Israeli police's statement, which said investigation with the settler is underway. The two slain Palestinians, named Sobhi Abu Hamed and Anwar Satal, come from the West Bank cities of Qalqiliya and Tulkarm. It is unclear whether the killings were intentional. However, the incident comes amid a wave of anger in the occupied territories after the family of |
16-year-oldPalestinian Mohamed Abu Khdeer said Israeli settlers had kidnapped and murdered him from in East Jerusalem this week.
Abu Khdeer's charred body was found on Wednesday in a forest near Jerusalem in a suspected "revenge" attack by Jewish settlers for the recent killing of three Israeli teenagers who went missing from a West Bank settlement.
Preliminary autopsy report showed that Mohamed had been burnt alive by his kidnappers.
Footage taken from a security camera near his Jerusalem home showed what appeared to be Jewish settlers abducting the boy.
In the footage, the kidnappers can be seen forcing him into their car before speeding off.
Tensions have already ridden the Palestinian territories since three Israeli settlers who went missing in June were found dead last week near the West Bank city of Hebron.
In the three weeks since the settlers' initial disappearance, Israel has rounded up hundreds of West Bank Palestinians, including lawmakers, former cabinet ministers and members of Gaza-based Hamas movement which Israel has accused of abducting and killing the trio.
No Palestinian group has claimed responsibility for the settlers' disappearance or subsequent death.
