Israel Police said Wednesday they found the body of a Palestinian man suspected of killing an 84-year-old Israeli woman after an overnight manhunt. Police said the body of the man was found in Tel Aviv, hours after he is alleged to have struck and killed the woman in Holon, a suburb just south of the city.

Police said earlier they were searching for Musa Sarsour, 28, from the West Bank city of Qalqilya. They were treating the death as an attack with nationalist motives, police said, and hundreds of officers fanned out to comb through the area. District police chief Haim Bublil said Sarsour was found hung in central Tel Aviv, off a major shopping district, early Wednesday. He said Sarsour had a permit to work in Israel, where salaries are much higher than in Judea and Samaria. Sarsour is believed to have killed himself.

The 84-year-old woman was found unconscious on the side of a road on Tuesday afternoon and Israeli media reported that security camera footage, which captured the attack, showed the woman being struck from behind with a heavy object. Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid, who was at the United Nations General Assembly in New York, called the killing a "shocking attack by a despicable and cowardly terrorist."

The attack comes as Israel continues nightly arrest raids in the West Bank that were prompted by a spate of deadly violence against Israelis in the spring that killed 19 people. Hundreds of Palestinians have been arrested since and some 90 have been killed, making this year the deadliest for Palestinians since 2016. Many of those killed have been terrorists, including local youths killed while throwing stones or firebombs at Israeli troops.  Some civilians have been caught up in the violence, among them a veteran Al Jazeera journalist and a lawyer who inadvertently drove into a battle zone.

The raids are aimed at dismantling terrorist networks that threaten its citizens, and that it makes every effort to avoid harming civilians. The raids have weakened the rule of the Palestinian Authority, which administers parts of the West Bank and maintains security ties with Israel. That animosity against the PA boiled over on Tuesday when Palestinians in the West Bank city of Nablus clashed with Palestinian security forces after the forces carried out an arrest raid against militants.
