Nazareth court extends remand of mother, brothers of terrorist who killed soldier in Karmiel yesterday

The Nazareth Magistrate’s Court extends the detention of the brother and mother of the terrorist who fatally stabbed an off-duty soldier in Karmiel yesterday until July 11, following a police request.

A second brother is ordered held in custody until Friday.

The police say that the investigation into the terror attack is being conducted by the police’s Northern District Central Unit.

The police often question relatives of terror suspects to determine if they had any involvement in the attack perpetrated by their family member and to understand if the attack was coordinated by a terror group.

Sgt. Aleksandr Iakiminskyi, 19, a truck driver in the 188th Armored Brigade’s 71st Battalion, from Nahariya, was stabbed to death in the attack and another soldier from the same battalion was severely injured.
