Police arrested a suspect involved in the shooting last night in Jadeidi-Makr east of Acco at a council head security guard who was severely injured.
Preliminary investigation revealed that the background to the shooting was an incident involving threats to the security guard that had begun shortly before and there was apparently no connection between the shooting incident and the council head.
The suspect, a young man from Jadeidi-Makr in his 20s, will be brought to hearing this morning to extend his remand in the Acre Magistrate's Court.
