According to Channel 10, authorities are now searching the home of the family of the gunman.
The suspect is from the region of Wadi Ara, not far from the northern town of Haifa. Channel 10 reported on Friday that the suspect’s father recognized his son in the closed-circuit television footage that emerged shortly after the rampage.
Police continue to search for the gunman, who killed two people and wounded seven others after opening fire in broad daylight on the jam-packed Dizengoff Street, the busy central Tel Aviv thoroughfare.
Israeli security officials believe that the suspect was operating under the influence of Islamic State-sanctioned ideology similar to the deadly attacks perpetrated in Paris last year.
That sentiment is consistent with reports that investigators discovered a copy of the Koran in the backpack in which the gunman carried the semiautomatic rifle used in the assault.

you would think the way the officials are reporting this is as if something new has happened. this is out of the isis playbook and its going to get a lot worse all over the world.
What mosque radicalized him? Level it.
Meir Kahane was right when he stated that even the Israeli Arabs could not be trusted.
Wasn’t it a Jewish terrorist with a prior in 2005 who attacked the Gay Pride Parade?
Why do you assume the terrorist in this gay bar attack is not Jewish?
Poor Arabs. All the oppression and stress of the occupation. Can you blame them for lashing out in frustration? Who wouldn’t?
As long as the sick liberals delude themselves into thinking that the Arabs want peace and they’ll be happy if they get their own state; there will be nebech more korbonos. It’s time to tell “the world”, i.e. all the anti-Semites in Europe, including the “enlightened” Norweigans, Swedes, etc & everywhere to mind their own business & die. If Israel doesn’t get some bitachon & backbone, Hashem will abandon them Ch”V.
