Evidence killing was nationalistically-motivated mounts
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleAs the investigation into the murder of Abu Khdeir continues, there are growing indications the killing was nationalistically-motivated, although a criminal motive has not been ruled out, according to Israeli media reports.
An official involved in the probe tells the Walla news website: “The assessment is that the attack was nationalistic.”
Sources tell Channel 10 that no Abu Khdeir family members have a criminal record, a fact that raises questions about the suggested honor killing scenario.
They maintain that rumors the boy was slain by relatives for his homosexuality have no merit.
