DEBKAfile was founded by a team of journalists in June 2000 as an independent Internet Web site, providing an intelligence and security news service. January 5, 2016, 8:59 AM (IDT)
On the fifth day of the manhunt for Nashat Melhem, the terrorist who carried out the attack on Tel Aviv's Dizengoff Street on Jan.1, Israeli security forces split up to search for another Palestinian, 20-year-old Ahmad Hatib from Isawiya in northern Jerusalem, who reached Herzlya for another attack..
Hatib, who has a criminal record, told his father that he was going to carry out an attack against Israelis. Using his cellular telephone number, security forces located Hatib's abandoned car in Herzliya.
Our unique angle on these subjects – and strong intelligence dimension – has earned DEBKAfile a global reputation and a steady readership – which skyrockets in times of crisis.
