In the wake of expedited intelligence activity, the Israel Police and the ISA (Israel Security Agency – Shin Bet) on 16 June 2014, arrested Hussein Yousef Hussein Khalifa, from Iblin in the Galilee, on suspicion of involvement in the 1 May 2014 murder of Shelly Dadon in the Migdal HaEmek Industrial Zone.
During ISA questioning, Hussein Khalifa confessed to murdering Dadon and disclosed many details regarding the murder.
Hussein Khalifa, 34, from Iblin, is a taxi driver who drove workers to and from factories in the Migdal HaEmek Industrial Zone. On the morning of the day of the murder, after dropping off workers at one of the factories as he did daily, he continued toward the center of town (Migdal HaEmek) where he picked up the deceased. She requested that he drive her to a job interview in the industrial zone. He drove her to an abandoned parking lot on the outskirts of the industrial zone (not far from her requested destination) where he stabbed her to death and fled the scene in his cab.
According to his version, after perpetrating the murder, Hussein Khalifa threw away the murder weapon and the deceased’s cell phone as he fled the scene, and later washed bloodstains from his cab. He also threw away the deceased’s wallet near the community of Beit Zarzir.
While Hussein Khalifa’s motives have yet to be fully clarified, the ISA assessment is that the murder was perpetrated for nationalistic reasons.

what up with the lady? since when do you post woman pics?
ygr, a Yid was killed and you ask about a woman’s photo? You can’t be Jewish. You’re מזרע ישמעאל.
dovid2– seriously?
A case of חסיד שוטה (ygr)
The world should know about the murder of this young woman. Yiden don’t go and riot. Yiden pray and suffer silently. The arabs can kill thousands of their own, as in iraq and sudan and the world is silent.
If Israel tries to protect itself, the arabs and the world goes crazy.
Horrible double standard.
YGR, of course you’re right but why are you waking up now? The picture of the Belzer Rebetzin being Menachem Avel is ok? And how about the picture on the Catskill section of the female state trooper that committed suicide? And how about the pictures from the Levayos that contained many pictures of women – some not dressed properly? The last goes on and on.
WO WO everyone relax….was just asking a question just happened to notice yesterday since there was apicture of a man (prob the murderer) and then they switched it later….
But to call someone מזרע ישמעאל….that’s a lot worse then asking a news site when their standards changed…you might want to rethink your comment and you should watch what you say about people…good things don’t come out of such comments….would love to meet you in person
