Prosecutors file an indictment against the older brother of a Palestinian teenager who carried out a shooting attack in Jerusalem last month.
According to the indictment, Omar Aliwat, 29, left a handgun and two full magazines in a bin in a storage area adjacent to their home in East Jerusalem’s Silwan neighborhood.
Muhammad Aliwat, 13, found the gun and used it in the attack on January 28, seriously wounding a father and son.
The elder Aliwat is charged with various weapons offenses, and he is to be held until the end of legal proceedings.
