The manhunt for the terrorist responsible for the erev Shabbos shooting attack in a Dizengoff Street pub in Tel Aviv continues on Wednesday, 25 Teves, in its sixth day.

Police and other agencies are involved in the manhunt for Nashat Melhem, who fled the scene of the shooting attack that claimed two lives and as he fled the city, a third victim, that of the taxi driver who took him to northern Tel Aviv.

The search appears to have shifted from the Gush Dan area to the Triangle, the predominately Israeli Arab areas of northern Israel known as Wadi Ara (Nachal I’ron).

Police have already arrested the terrorist’s father along with a number of other family members believed to have been accomplices in one way or another.

It was reported early on Wednesday that a large number of security personnel were operating in Nachal I’ron as well as the area between Tulkarem and Taibeh.

On Tuesday, Police Commissioner Roni Alsheich announced “We can lower the tension” in the Gush Dan area, perhaps due to the shift in the focus of the manhunt to northern Israel.
