YN: ****UPDATED**** The burnt corpse, of Dr. Danny Yaakovi, a doctor from the settlement of Yakir in the West Bank, was found Thursday evening in the trunk of a car near the West Bank village of Abos, between the cities of Qalqilya and Nablus. The defense establishment referred to the incident as a terror attack. His Levaya? will be held at 12:00 noon at the Segula cemetery in Petach Tikvah. No terror group has taken responsibility for the murder as yet.The body was found after the defense establishment received intelligence information on a burned car found between the villages of Haja and Abos. Reserve soldiers who searched the area found the car, bearing Israeli license plates, completely burnt with a burnt body inside its trunk.

Security forces were dispatched to the area and launched an investigation into the incident.

A Palestinian security source told Ynet that the body was found in one of the fields of the Baka al-Hatab village, about 20 kilometers (12.42 miles) east of Qalqilya. The Palestinian defense establishment was also looking into the possibility that an Israeli was kidnapped and murdered for nationalistic motives.

According to the Palestinian source, Baka al-Hatab is a particularly quiet village and according to initial estimations the village residents were not the ones who committed the act.

Among other leads, security forces are checking whether this is an additional incident of a kidnap and murder, similar to that of 18-year-old Eliyahu Asheri from the settlement of Itamar.

Asheri was abducted and killed at the end of June 2006 by members of the Popular Resistance Committees. His body was found, days after his disappearance, in the Tira neighborhood in Ramallah.

Recently, security forces warned settlement residents of possible kidnap attempts by terrorists and instructed them accordingly.

In light of the fighting in the north and in Gaza, it appears that terror organizations have been trying to carry out terror attacks in the past few days. Defense establishment officials said that recently there has been a rise in the number of general warnings on plans to carry out terror attacks in general, and in Jerusalem in particular.

Two attempts to carry out terror attacks in the capital were carried out in the past two weeks: A stabbing attack in which a yeshiva student was moderately injured, and an incident in which a would-be suicide bomber was captured? with a bag containing an explosive belt. The terrorist had declared that he planned to detonate himself in the city’s central Jaffa Street.
