The suspect also attached to his posts photos of his family members who carried out attacks in recent years in Jerusalem.

The investigation of his conduct on the social network and the examination of his actions reveal that the suspect's Facebook page contains many inflammatory contents and has a high social exposure.

And on the left picture is the picture of the terrorist, another cousin, who carried out the trampling and stabbing attack on Malki Israel Street in 2015, an attack in which a civilian was murdered.

It was also found that already in 2019, the suspect updated the profile picture on the social network page under his name and published a photo from the scene of the attack at the Har Nof Synagogue, in which a figure is seen fleeing the scene of the attack, apparently of his terrorist brother who carried out the aforementioned attack, jumping over the body of one of the victims of the attack.

Above this picture, the suspect added a caption in which he stated - "We are not afraid of death".

Also, among his recent publications, researchers located the photo of the terrorist Odi Tamimi who carried out the shooting attack at the Shoafat checkpoint in October 2022, during which the late IDF fighter Noa Lazar was murdered and a civilian security guard was seriously injured.
