Stabber’s uncle says nephew had psychiatric issues, was ‘defending himself’

Yunes’s uncle, Dr. Isam Yunes, tells Ynet his nephew was “a quiet man who came to receive treatment. He suffers from epilepsy and behavioral problems” for which he had received psychiatric treatment.

“They told him to get out [of the car] and jumped at him. So he took out a knife to defend himself. I’d defend myself too if five security guards jumped at me.”
