Israel’s minister of public security, Yitzhak Aharonovitch, described the suspects in a statement as “youths.” Lawyers representing the suspects said they had not been allowed to meet with them. Rosenfeld said the suspects were being questioned to determine whether they were also linked to an attempted kidnapping of a Palestinian child, Mousa Zaloum, 8, from the same area of East Jerusalem a day before Mohammed was abducted. Rosenfeld said the child’s mother had made an official complaint to the police that was being investigated separately. Mousa was later photographed with red marks on his neck.

On Saturday, the Palestinian attorney general said an autopsy had found soot in Mohammed’s lungs, suggesting that he was beaten and burned while he was still alive. The announcement of the arrests after days of uncertainty about the circumstances of the killing rocked Israel.
