Two people have thus far been brought in for questioning in connection with the now infamous “wedding of hate,” police say.
Reports of the first suspect being detained broke earlier today, but a police spokesperson now says that a second person was also picked up for involvement in the event, in which wedding-goers danced with guns, knives and a mock-Molotov cocktail.
During the celebration, one person also stabbed a photograph of 18-month-old Ali Dawabsha, who was killed when Jewish extremists allegedly threw a firebomb into his family’s home, killing him and his parents.
The investigation is ongoing, police say.
