Israeli police arrest father of suspected gunman in Tel Aviv shooting

Israeli police on Tuesday arrested the father of the suspected gunman in Friday's shooting attack in Tel Aviv, according to JPost.

Israeli media reported that authorities arrested five other relatives of the suspect.

Israeli forces have conducted widespread manhunts since Friday for 31-year-old Nashat Milhem, named as the suspected assailant in the shooting that killed two Israelis and wounded many others at a bar on Dizengoff Street in Tel Aviv.

Over the weekend, Israeli forces searched the Milhem family's home in the Arab Israeli town of Arara in the northern Wadi Ara region and nabbed two of his brothers on suspicion of having assisted in the attack.
