Ahmed Ali Alid is accused of killing a pensioner and attacking others in a violence spree motivated by the Gaza conflict.

Ahmed Ali Alid, a Moroccan asylum seeker, allegedly murdered a pensioner and attempted to murder his housemate in Hartlepool, motivated by the Gaza conflict.
Alid, who denies the charges, claimed his actions were in retaliation for Israeli actions in Palestine, aiming to 'remove Zionists'.
The attacks occurred shortly after Hamas's assaults on Israel, with Alid expressing a desire for martyrdom and further violence if not restrained.
Alid also assaulted two police officers during his arrest, complicating his legal proceedings.
The case has stirred significant attention due to its international political implications and the severity of the accusations.
