Police have a lead in hunt for Tel Aviv gunman

  • 8 years ago
Israeli police and security forces are honing in on Nashat Milhem, the 29-year-old Arab-Israeli terrorist who murdered three people and injured nine others in a shooting spree in Tel Aviv last Friday .
Five days after the attack, Police and Shin Bet investigators say they have a new lead regarding Milhem's movements after fleeing the scene, but would not specify further.
Police Chief Roni Alsheich's decision to lower the alert levels in the Gush Dan region is believed to be connected to the unspecified intelligence received by investigators.
Nashat fled the scene of the attack, along central Tel Aviv's busy Dizengoff Stret, immediately after calmly drawing an assault rifle and gunning down scores of innocent civilians, murdering Alon Bakal and Shimon Ruimi.
