The suspect comes from the flashpoint city of Hebron in the south of the occupied West Bank, police said. All other details of the woman's killing remain the subject of an Israeli gag order. The West Bank was hit by a bout of unrest in December as tensions eased in the Gaza Strip. The future of the West Bank is set to be one of the main issues of the Israeli election campaign. Some 650,000 Israeli settlers live in the West Bank, including annexed east Jerusalem.
