One of the men accused of involvement in the kidnapping and murder of three teenagers confessed to masterminding the crime under “heavy torture,” his lawyer said on Wednesday. (…)

He is now being held at a facility run by Israel’s internal security services, the Shin Bet, in the seaside city of Ashkelon. Neither Qawasami, or other lawyers involved in the case, have been able to visit him, as he is still under interrogation.
