The Shin Bet on Wednesday released the full details of its investigation into Nashat Melhem, a terrorist who killed three people in Tel Aviv this month, revealing recreational drug use, support for ISIS, and a bizarre message calling on US President Barack Obama to convert to Islam.
Also Wednesday, indictments were issued against three of Melhem's relatives who allegedly helped him hide after the murder: Ayoob Rashid, Mohammed Melhem, and Amin Melhem.
According to the indictments, Melhem decided to commit a terror shooting attack somewhere crowded in Tel Aviv, "with the purpose of causing as many Israeli civilian deaths as possible, with the intention of helping the enemy in its war against Israel, including the ISIS organization."
The terrorist, encountering difficulties with the taxi, abandoned it on Namir Road and reached Ramat Aviv, an area with which he was familiar.
