Thousands, including several bused in from Bnei Brak, are attending the funeral of Amir Khoury, a police officer killed during a terror shooting attack in the ultra-Orthodox city on Tuesday.
The funeral is being held in his hometown, Nof Hagalil, adjacent to Nazareth.
The procession began earlier at the Church of Annunciation in Nazareth.
Khoury, 32, was part of a team of two motorcycle officers who caught up with the gunman who had already killed four people, and shot him dead, ending the deadly shooting spree.
