'They knew the terrorist was here, but didn't want to snitch'

A day after the week-long manhunt for Nashat Melhem ended with his death in Arara , details began to emerge about where he hid during that time and who may have helped him.
Alongside the operation to catch Melhem, who murdered three people in Tel Aviv, security forces also arrested several area residents on Friday who they suspected of helping him to evade capture.
Residents and family members on Saturday morning declined to go into detail, but individuals in the al-Daharat neighborhood - where Melhem had been hiding - and police officials know that he received assistance, especially from family members, since he arrived in Wadi Ara on the day of the attack.
Details regarding one of Melhem's hideouts in Arara, located 400 meters from where he was eventually shot dead, also emerged on Saturday morning.
