Israeli police arrested a Jaffa resident, about 30, on suspicion of involvement in Monday's shooting on Shmuel Ben Adiya Street that left three men with light wounds, according to Channel 12. The suspect was found in a hideout in central Israel; police will request a remand extension.
The arrest comes three days after the shooting incident in Jaffa, which Channel 12 reported as suspected criminal. The three victims sustained light wounds and were treated at the scene. Police tracked the suspect to a hideout in central Israel and took him into custody. The investigation is ongoing, and police are expected to present evidence to a judge to extend the remand. As The Zioneer reported on Monday, police initially assessed a criminal motive rather than a nationalistic one, and the arrest of a local resident from Jaffa aligns with that assessment. The suspect's identity has not been released.
