Criticism of the conduct of the police
At Ziv Hospital in Safed, the police were severely criticized for being helpless in the serious incident during which dozens of Druze broke into the morgue and abducted the body of senior Sheikh Hassan Halabi from Majdal Shams.
"Dozens of enthusiastic Druze began to break in with only the security guard and the KVT facing them.

It was also learned that the Druze in the Golan Heights intend to place his body on the football field in Majdal Shams from Friday evening until today (Saturday) at noon in order to allow the masses to pass by his body and pay his last respects.
The hospital says that the information was passed on to the Magen Israel Projector, Prof. Roni Gamzo, Deputy Director General of the Ministry of Health Itamar Grotto, who strongly opposed placing the body on the football field in order to prevent a crowd from gathering. The director of the medical center, Prof. Salman Zarka, a Druze himself, spoke The explosive with the leader of the Druze community in Israel, Sheikh Moafek Tarif. At the end of the conversation, the sheikh decided to refrain from implementing the plan in an attempt to calm the winds.

Police claim that the force sent to the scene negotiated with the protesting Druze and managed to reach an agreement with them and disperse them from the place.
It was also reported at one point that the force received a message that dozens of sheikhs had arrived at the basement, but when they went down to the basement, they saw four people from the medical staff handing over the body to the Druze.
This, it was alleged, caused confusion that the transfer of the body was done with permission.
Ziv Medical Center spokeswoman Eli Sabti said: "The images from the security cameras speak for themselves. The security guards at Ziv Medical Center are the only ones who tried to prevent the violent outbreak into the building, while the police officers are seen standing and watching the incident and doing nothing, as if it were a movie. "To say that the body was given with consent is the false cover version of those who are trying to cover up the stagnation of the police on the spot."
