The Palestinian gunman who held two people hostage for several hours at the Turkish embassy in Tel Aviv yesterday is to remain in Israeli police custody until next week.
At a hearing, Nadim Injaz denied being “a crazy man”.
He said he had stormed the embassy on Hayarkon Street, and threatened to kill Jews, to draw attention to his demands for political asylum in Europe.
However the Ramallah resident’s claim — that his life was in danger because he was once an informant for Israel — was not confirmed.
