IDF said to arrest cousin of Tel Aviv terrorist in West Bank raid

2022-04-23

[IsraelTimes] Ahmad A-Sa’ad reportedly nabbed near Jenin; military has been searching for family members of killer, who are suspected of being accomplices

Israel Defense Force troops have arrested the cousin of the terrorist who carried out the deadly attack in Tel Aviv earlier this month, Paleostinian media reports said late Friday.

The raid was carried out in the village on the outskirts of Jenin in the northern West Bank, the reports said, identifying the man as Ahmad A-Sa’ad, a cousin of Ra’ad Hazem who killed three people when he opened fire on a busy Tel Aviv bar.

There was no immediate confirmation from the IDF, which has made several attempts to arrest Hazem’s family members, including opening fire on a car in which his brothers were traveling.

Israeli security forces have sought to arrest the father and brother of Hazem for their alleged involvement in the attack. Hazem’s father, Fathi, is a former security prisoner who previously served as an officer in the Paleostinian Authority’s security services in Jenin. He has praised his son for the killings and refused an Israeli summons for questioning.

Hazem killed three people and maimed several others when he opened fire on a Tel Aviv bar on April 7.

He was killed hours later in an exchange of fire with security forces in nearby Jaffa after a massive all-night manhunt.
