Ofakim mayor at funeral of Tel Aviv victim says killer ‘completely sane’

Mayor of Ofakim Itzik Danino eulogizes Shimon Ruimi, who was murdered in a terror attack on Friday in Tel Aviv.

The family of the murderer, Nashat Milhem, claims he is insane. Danino rejects the insanity claim.

“A person who plans a murder in such an orderly way, giving up other opportunities [to kill], escapes the terror scene, and can make sure that the people he is killing are Jews, is a completely sane person. The murderer from Arara is completely stable of mind,” Danino says.
