Ex-top cop: Killer had clearly trained for attack

Mickey Levy, a former Jerusalem police chief who is now a Yesh Atid MK, says the killer “had obviously trained” for the attack.

Levy, also a former deputy police minister, notes that the gunman was calm in the moments before the shooting, and that he adopted a stable shooting position as he stepped into the street, as seen on security camera footage.

Still on the run six hours after the attack, the killer is still believed to be in the Tel Aviv area, police say.

Hamas has hailed the attack, but no terror group has taken responsibility.
