Ramle resident, 24, arrested on suspicion of murder

A 24-year-old Ramle resident was arrested Friday morning by police on suspicion of being involved in the murder of his 19-year-old girlfriend, Ala Dahar.
Dahar, from Haifa, was shot Thursday as she was sitting in a taxi in Ramle. She was evacuated to Asaf Harofeh Hospital in Zrifin by the taxi driver and was later pronounced dead.
Dahar was in Israel on vacation from school in Moldova where she studied dentistry.
