Our forces from the MGB and IDF operated during the night (Sunday) in the terrorist neighborhood of A-Tor in East Jerusalem, to seal off the home of the terrorist who carried out the murderous stampede attack on Friday at noon in the Ramot neighborhood.
During the activity, dozens of Arabs threw stones at them and shot fireworks in direct formation. So far no casualties among our forces have been reported. The police stated that, in the hours after the attack, the terrorist’s relatives and family members were arrested and their involvement and knowledge of the attack and the terrorist’s intentions were examined.
Last night, the High Court extended the detention of the two brothers of the terrorist who were detained for questioning at the central unit of the Jerusalem district and the investigation of the attack continues. The house of the terrorist’s parents where he lived in the past and where his two brothers who were arrested now also live, was seized by police and security forces after it was evacuated and its contents evacuated.
Tonight, as mentioned, the sealing of all the openings of the house was carried out after receiving the required approvals and in accordance with the sealing order and confiscation of the house.
