Thousands gathered Wednesday evening in Netanya for the funeral of Rabbi Amos Guetta, the prominent kabbalist stabbed to death at his yeshiva earlier that morning. The massive turnout, captured in imagery distributed by TPS, reflects the public mourning that followed earlier clashes between police and relatives over a disputed autopsy.
Thousands joined the funeral procession for Rabbi Amos Guetta in Netanya on Wednesday evening, as reported by N12 and documented by TPS. The gathering followed a day of intense public emotion after the veteran kabbalist was stabbed to death at his yeshiva early that morning.
Earlier in the evening, as The Zioneer reported at 17:32, violent clashes broke out between police and relatives when officers attempted to take the rabbi's body for an autopsy as part of the murder investigation. The large funeral turnout highlights the community's sense of loss and the respect Guetta commanded among his students.
The suspect, a local man in his 20s, remains in custody. The motive is still under investigation, with police pursuing leads on a possible criminal motive, as reported in The Zioneer's initial coverage of the stabbing.
