The seven-hour standoff ended when Turkish Embassy officials allowed Israeli police and medics to remove the attacker, Nadim Injaz, a Palestinian from the West Bank city of Ramallah. Injaz emerged from the embassy limping slightly from an apparent gunshot wound.

On Wednesday, TV channels showed Injaz being brought into court in a wheelchair, flashing a victory sign and yelling “Death to Jews.” The Israeli Courts Administration said the Tel Aviv court approved holding Injaz in jail for a week to allow police to investigate.

Under Israeli practice, a suspect can be held in jail while police look into his case, and charges are filed afterward if warranted. There is no system for releasing a suspect on bail.

Israeli police and the British Foreign Office said Injaz carried out a similar attack on the British Embassy in Israel in 2006, also demanding asylum.

Around the time of that attack, police said Injaz had spied on other Palestinians for Israel and had a criminal record that included drug offenses.

Injaz’s lawyer, Avital Choref, told Israeli Army Radio that his client accepted detention because he feared he would be killed for collaborating with Israel if he returned to the West Bank. Palestinians consider spying for Israel an odious crime. Collaborators face vigilante justice in the West Bank, though the last collaborator killing there was in 2002.

Former Israeli intelligence official Menahem Landau told Israel TV that Injaz never worked for Israeli security.
