According to Israeli media, a relative of Al-Okhbi, who held Israeli citizenship, was arrested by the Shin Bet, Israel’s internal security agency.

A gag order was placed on the investigation of the attack in which ten people were injured and two killed.

The funeral of one of the dead, a soldier, identified as a Omri Levi, 19, of Sde Hemed is planned for later Monday.

The other, an Eritrean asylum seeker identified as Haftom Zarhum, 29 succumbed to wounds he sustained after being shot and critically injured by a security guard who mistook him for a terrorist. Binsamo was then kicked by agitated bystanders who also believed he was a Palestinian assailant. His body will be flown to Eriteria for burial.

Medical services said the injured included two people in serious condition, two in moderate condition, and another two with light wounds. The victims were evacuated to Soroka Medical Center in the city.
