On January 1, 2016 Nashat Milhem shot at Israelis in a bar in Tel Aviv, murdering three and wounding six. Milhem fled the seen and went into hiding. A week later Israeli officers and Counter-Terrorism Unit found the gunman hiding in his hometown Arara in northern Israel. During the attempted arrest, shots were fired and Milhem was killed.
Five suspects were also arrested during this time for suspicion of hiding Milhem from the police. Today, Sunday January 24, 2016, pre-indictment motions were filed against three of the people previously arrested. Now it is believed that some if not most of those arrested the day of the shootout were directly involved in the shooting on New Years Day. However, according to one of the accused’s defense lawyer, he was forced to help Milhem or he would be killed.
It will certainly be interesting to see how all of this plays out. The links to the articles I used are embedded in the two paragraphs so you guys can get the full story.
