Three murdered in different instances this morning, including Netanya rabbi
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThree people were murdered in separate instances within a short time of each other this morning.
A well-known Netanya rabbi in his 70s was stabbed to death in a yeshiva in the city. Police believe an argument between the rabbi and the suspect, for whom a search is underway, devolved into a deadly attack on the former. Paramedics who arrived on the scene rushed the rabbi to hospital but he succumbed to his injuries.
In Shfaram, in northern Israel, a man aged around 24 was shot dead.
In Yagur, near Haifa, a man in his 20s was shot dead in a parking lot near a shopping center.
Police are investigating the killings.
Israel has been beset by a wave of murders and gangland killings that shows no sign of abating.
