Court extends remand for brother of Jerusalem terrorist

Jerusalem Magistrate’s Court approves a four-day extension in the remand of Taysir Abu Sabeh, who is suspected of having contact with Hamas officials abroad, and whose brother shot dead two Israelis in Jerusalem in October.

Abu Sabeh was arrested earlier today, shortly after he received a phone call from Qatar-based Hamas political leader Khaled Mashaal.
