The terrorist was among those apprehended in a round of IDF arrests made throughout Judea and Samaria on Wednesday. He was interrogated by the General Security Services, during which he revealed how and where he and his gang members shot Eliyahu in the head from close range, shortly after they abducted him on Sunday night.

Others connected to the kidnapping and murder are still being interrogated.

I hope they don't have the same silly restrictions on interrogation that we have. This was a tragic and senseless act.

"At this time, I do have not much to say, for the pain is so unbearable; I can barely find a way to hold it. But one thing I can say is that many times in the past years, because of the many disagreements-between-brothers we have in this country, many times I asked G-d to give me, first of all, love in my heart for everyone. And now, following this terrible thing that happened to us, it has become clear to me how really great the Nation of Israel is - how much help we have received, and all the volunteers, and the army - there are no words to describe it... And this was the way of Eliyahu as well..."

There is nothing I could add to that. My condolences.

A better day for you now Eliyahu. Israel will survive despite many enemies.

Rest in peace, young man.

I am sorry not to put the pictures up, I'm on dial up and it kept freezing up on me when I went back to the article.

Filthy animals!

[Glenmerle]

As cynical as I am about the drive-by media, it still amazes me how little coverage this story is getting. There are a few stories about the kidnapped Israeli soldier, yes, but hardly a mention of this brutally murdered kid. I'd bet 99 percent of Americans don't know about this.

"Now, Eliyahu - stand before G-d and speak out in favor of the Nation of Israel - don't let up until our Father in Heaven agrees to reveal Himself to His people."

Amen! Come soon Lord Jesus!

[StockAyatollah]

Incredibly, I heard a network reporter on the radio describe the kidnapping in almost glowing, heroic terms as "a daring raid". I must have been wrong since I thought it was actually a cowardly, terrorist act.

[Esther Ruth]

Seriously? It's not in the news?
I don't watch tv and just listen to a little radio, get all my news from the internet so I don't know.
He has such an unbelievably beautiful face and sweet eyes, I don't know how his mother can stand it. If he was mine I think I would die from heart ache in short time.

[Esther Ruth]

I've heard the same gleeful joyful tone also from young women anchors and it's shocked me, totally freaked me out, announcing the pa's SURPRISING attack on the IDF like they were talking about a surprise birthday party - how did we get to this point so quick?

[Steely Tom]

These pictures are giving pleasure to the palestinan filth.

[Glenmerle]

Seriously? It's not in the news?

I've watched and watched for it. Even on Fox News I've seen only one short story on Eliyahu. The local ABC, NBC, and CBS news -- nothing. The articles I've read on the Israeli "incursion" into Gaza and the kidnapped soldier -- nothing.

Of course, I could be missing some stories, but this is such a big deal, in my opinion, that it shouldn't be so hard to find mention of it.

The MSM does not want to show anything about this young man that was murdered. The MSM wants people to be sympathetic to the Palestinian cause. This does not fit into the image they are trying to portray of the bully Israel attacking defenseless Palestinians. The MSM always frames the story to say what they want you to believe.

A young American boy was killed by a terrorist bombing while eating with his family on vacation last month.

I think it was in Tel Aviv, of course he got NO press at all.

[Honestfreedom]

There is only some mention of him as a settler. I guess that means it was okay to kill him since he had the nerve to be a living Jew in an area that Arabs would like to have.
