Man killed in suspected Haifa terror attack buried
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleIn the Haifa region, a funeral is taking place for Guy Kafri, who was killed Tuesday in a double shooting now believed to have been a terror attack.
Shahar Dror, his brother in law, says in eulogy that Kafri was killed for being Jewish.
The attacker is not yet caught, and security forces have launched a large manhunt in the Halisa neighborhood of Haifa, including with K9 units.
Police believe Rabbi Yechiel Iluz, who was injured in a separate shooting nearby a short time before Kafri was killed, was also shot by the same suspect.
There has been a “meaningful” development in the case, police said, but a gag order is in effect on the details of the case, Israel Radio reports.
