The relatives of the murdered woman in Haifa feared for her life: "I told my sister and my daughter that she was in danger" One of the neighbors in the building where Odia Gabai lived said that she suspected something might happen to her. Gabbay brought two pitbull dogs, and the neighbors felt she needed protection.

"If she hadn't worked at the club, she wouldn't have been murdered," one neighbor said. The fight started early in the morning, which ended with the fatal shooting outside.
