Court extends remand for father of Tel Aviv shooting suspect

The Haifa Magistrate’s Court extends by two days the remand of the father of the fugitive suspected terrorist who shot up a Tel Aviv bar on Friday.

Mohammed Milhem, the father of 29-year-old Nashat Milhem, was arrested and questioned this morning along with five family members.

It was the second time he has been arrested since the attack last Friday.

On Monday, father Mohammed made a televised plea to his son to turn himself in, as Tel Aviv residents hunkered down amid ongoing searches for the suspected terrorist.

“Contact me,” he said, appealing directly to his son. “I will help you. Let’s end this saga. These are difficult days for the family.”
