Police now suspect Haifa shootings may be terror — report
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GooglePolice now suspect the twin shootings in the northern city of Haifa on Tuesday, in which one Israeli man was killed and another injured, may be an act of terrorism, Channel 10 reports.
Initially, police believed the two men worked together in a rabbinical court and suspected the two killings some 30 minutes apart were linked to gangland activity, according to the TV report.
However, the victim was later identified as a van driver, rather than a rabbinical official. As a result, the Israel Police are concerned the attack may have been terrorism and the armed shooter — said by some eyewitnesses to be a woman — may still be in the area, the report says.
