their own societies. moving to israel, the second day of a manhunt for a gunman who police opened fire in a cafe, killing two people. how unique is it to use firearms in a security conscious country such as israel? it s very rare. the prevalence of guns they have a lot of guns there, but people have background checks. they have specific reasons for having them and gun violence is about one-tenth that in the united states. so what we saw unfold yesterday with that rifle in realtime on video is something very, very rarely seen in israel. obviously, there s a sense oftentimes that we re going to go to isis immediately when something like this happens, but is there any real indication that this gunman was inspired by isis? no. we don t have any information on that. what we do have is information from his father and also from his lawyer. he apparently was jailed for about five years before, you know, they have talk about him having talked about him
weapon from his backpack and begins killing. leaving bullet holes and bar stools overturned in terror. i fall and i but it was like over there. reporter: israeli media are reporting that police have identified an arab israeli s. some believe this could be the country s first isis inspired attack. one new yorker visiting israel says most people are not frightened. we are still planning ongoing out tomorrow night in tel aviv. reporter: but this morning the detectives hunt the man who with both hands gripping his weapon was so determined to kill. that was keir simmons in london. in pennsylvania a large search is under way for a boy with autism. he wandered away from a party barefoot. he was last seen near allentown and residents are asked to check their backyards, sheds, bushes.
brussels has per capita more who have gone to fight with isis than any other capital in the european union. in france and in brussels, we have people still being apprehended with pipe bombs and various munitions they brought in. so they have got a real and present threat continuing to unfold can real people on the site. so when you think about hundreds of thousands of people amassing to watch fireworks, that is just too ripe a target at this point. and while many people have criticized brussels and paris and others for not having these and not allowing society to move on, it s an unbelievable size threat. it would make something like bataclan and what we saw happen months ago in paris look very small. i think we need to be humble to some degree in criticizing others in how they have taken on dealing with some of the very and real present threats in
having mental problems and being an unstable person. that doesn t mean he was inspired by isis. there was a man arrested in rochester yesterday, again, his father saying he was unstable, easily hijacked by various causes here and there and was mentally limited if you will. he had some mental problems. so that is the issue we know of him, but isis could have been a factor. we ll know as their investigation continues. staying in the area the jerusalem post is reporting that russian air strikes in syria could send isis forces toward israel. how concerned should israeli security forces be concerned about isis forces getting across the border into israel? i think israel has to be worried about the golan heights area. they have unbelievable military defense capacities in the area.
but it s not just isis, it s the al nusra front and bashar al assad s regime and right now they re skirmishing it out between each other. right now, israeli intelligence is sort of comfortable with the notion that as long as al nusra is fighting isis, these are two extremist groups fighting each other, israel will be okay, but if one moves and if russia continues to bombard the isis dimension, they may move down south and then israel would have some challenges and problems. but, you know, israel has formidable military capacity there. sort of two wrongs make a right to your other point before. isis in iraq has retaken the key city of ramadi. sort of a celebration of sorts, but as reported in the washington post, there are far tougher battles ahead, including the much delayed offensive to retake mosul. is the iraqi army prepared to move on to mosul and what a victory there mean for iraq and for isis? well, mosul has a population
