Hundreds of people attended the funeral of journalist Nadal Agbaria, who was murdered last night near his home in Umm al-Fahm, this evening (Monday).

Among those who accompanied him on his last journey at the funeral were the mayor Dr. Samir Mahamid, the former mayor and head of the northern wing of the former Islamic movement Raad Salah, many imams, many Arab journalists, his relatives, associates and Mukiriuf including many residents of the city and the region.

City resident MK Former Yosef Jabarin who was present at the funeral, which left the Abu Obeidah Mosque, says that the feeling was difficult.

"This case restores the feeling that everything remains the same," he said.

"Despite all the talk about vigorous action, the bloodbath continues and no one is immune, even if he is as well-known and recognized as Nadal Agbaria. This is a great loss for the city and society. Doctors, lawyers were murdered here, tonight a journalist who is known for his sensitivity and good relations with people was murdered."

At the end of the funeral, dozens of young people and Arab journalists who were shocked by the heinous crime demonstrated.

A large police force was deployed in front of them to prevent disturbances.

An accusing finger is pointed at the police, who knew about the threats against Nadal Agbaria and his family, but did not decipher the harassment against them, including previous shooting incidents.

The investigation is being conducted in the serious crime division of the Central Unit in the Coastal District.
