The shocking murder in Netanya: Students of the Kabbalist Rabbi Amos Guetta clashed this morning (Wednesday) outside the Laniado Medical Center, demanding that his body not be autopsied after death, but only that an examination be performed.

In an unusual move, the ZAKA team from the Institute of Forensic Medicine arrived at the hospital, and after an examination, the body of the late Kabbalist was released for burial.

In the early hours of Wednesday morning, a report was received at the ZAKA hotline about a stabbing incident in the city of Netanya. The Netanya ZAKA team from the Sharon region who arrived at the scene worked together with the ZAPA forces at the scene - and ensured the dignity of the deceased.

In an unusual move, the Director of the Institute of Forensic Medicine, Dr. Chen Kugel, and another pathology team arrived at Laniado Hospital, where they were joined by the ZAKA team and conducted the necessary tests.

The funeral of the Kabbalist Rabbi Amos Guetta zt"l will take place at 1:00 PM in Netanya.
