Terror alert level in Tel Aviv remains unchanged, police say
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleTel Aviv Police did not receive orders to lower the terror alert level in the city, despite the Israeli police chief’s suggestion to the contrary earlier today.
Roni Alsheich said it was possible to “dramatically reduce the tension in the Tel Aviv area.” He said he could not elaborate “in order to not cause harm” to the ongoing investigation. Officers in Tel Aviv, however, say they are operating under the same guidelines as they had since terror alerts were raised, according to Army Radio reporter Itamar Katzir.
Alsheich has been accused of failing to communicate the police’s progress in the manhunt for Nashat Milhem, the chief suspect behind Friday’s deadly Tel Aviv shooting.
