Police on Tuesday arrested the father of Nahat Melhem, suspected of carrying out the terror attack on a Tel Aviv pub on Friday that killed three and wounded several more. Five others were arrested along with Mohammed Melhem on suspicion of acting as an accessory to murder, while his mother was detained for questioning.

Meanwhile, details from the investigation emerged, suggesting that Melhem may have escaped to northern Israel.

A relative of Melhem said following the father's arrest that "the arrest will not do anything. Nashat will not care about seeing any of his relatives under arrest. . . He is an insane person. I ask the Shin Bet and police to leave the family alone and search for Nashat. We are also urging him to turn himself in."

1. Milhem’s mother said Wednesday that security forces were threatening to demolish their home.

“They threatened as if they intended to demolish our house if we don’t disclose the place where he is hiding,” she said. “I told them we do not know where he has gone.”

Police descended in large numbers Wednesday morning on an unnamed Arab town in a northern area of Israel known as the Triangle, as the manhunt for Milhem entered its sixth day.

Since the attacks, Milhem, from the northern town of Arara, has remained at large. Authorities have warned he is armed, dangerous and capable of striking again.

4. Searching for terrorists is not easy

In any country .

Better believe they would of moved heaven and earth to find the San Bernadino murderers.

I believe the family of the Boston Bombers were back in their homeland .

One Boston bomber was killed and the other arrested.

9. People can rationalize all kinds of bullshit, stupid fuckers threatening the family.

He took off to Northern Israel? I thought I read that somewhere. He sounds crazy, so
why would he care about the family losing their home? I have to wonder if he committed
suicide by now too. Horrible situation.

seems almost like a movie we've seen before

11. It's just a guess, but I think the ethnicity of the shooter's family has something to do with how

they're treated.

I can't imagine a Jewish family being threatened with having their house demolished...
