Court orders immediate release of suspected TA shooter’s brother

The Haifa Magistrate’s Court orders police to release from custody the brother of Nashat Milhem, the suspected terrorist who opened fire on a Tel Aviv bar Friday, killing two.

The court, however, orders Jaudat Milhem not to enter his hometown, the Israeli Arab town of Arara, until further notice, Channel 10 reports. Jaudat Milhem was arrested following the attack on suspicion that he had been an accomplice.

The deadly shooting took place outside the Simta bar on Tel Aviv’s busy Dizengoff Street. Shift manager Alon Bakal, 26, and patron Shimon Ruimi, 30, were killed in a hail of bullets as the gunman opened fire with a submachine gun he stole from his father. Seven people were wounded.

Since Friday afternoon, Nashat Milhem has remained at large. Authorities have warned he is armed, dangerous and capable of striking again.
