Man held for Hamas contacts is brother of terrorist who killed 2
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe East Jerusalem resident arrested yesterday for contacts with Hamas officials abroad is the brother of Mesbah Abu Sabih, the terrorist who killed two Israelis in an October shooting attack in the capital, Channel 2 reports.
Abu Sabih was killed during a shootout with Israeli security forces in the moments after the attack.
The report says the brother received a call last night from Qatar-based Hamas political leader Khaled Mashaal, who congratulated him on the attack. The call came shortly after the family’s home was demolished by Israel.
