Jerusalem: A Jewish settler has been arrested by Israeli police on suspicions of firing a makeshift rocket at a Palestinian village in West Bank, an Israeli newspaper reported on Sunday.
A police spokesman confirmed the arrest of a suspect in connection with an investigation into illegal weapons, the Yedioth Ahronoth daily reported.
The suspect was supposed to be involved in firing a homemade explosive at the neighbouring village of Burin.
Similar explosives were fired by settlers last week, and were reported to resemble pipe bombs about 20cms in length.
