    The following has been cleared for publication:
     
    The Israel Security Agency – in cooperation with the IDF – has detained Islam Yusuf Hamid, 32, a resident of the Amari refugee camp in Ramallah after ISA intelligence indicated that he was suspected of having thrown the marble slab which led to the death of IDF St.-Sgt. Ronen Lubarsky on 24 May 2018. During his investigation it became clear that Hamid had indeed thrown the slab in question from an adjacent building.
     
    Hamid's brothers are Hamas members who have carried out a range of terrorist attacks that led to the deaths of Israelis, including the 13 February 1994 shooting death of ISA operative Noam Cohen.
     
    Hamid's investigation is continuing; all other details are subject to a gag order.
