Five Zionist Rabbis Killed in Morocco.
According to the I24 website, five Zionist rabbis were killed this morning near the city of Ouarzazate in Morocco. The Zionist regime announced this as a result of their car overturning.
All of the rabbis were from the extremist Hasidim Breslav group, some of whom were from the city of Safed. The group was part of dozens of rabbis who had traveled to Morocco to perform Talmudic ceremonies.
Israel’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs is assisting with the repatriation of their bodies, which will be transported first to Casablanca and then to France, the broadcaster said.
Israel Hasid, a member of Israel’s emergency response team, described the accident as “extremely severe”, explaining that the vehicle overturned off the road, resulting in the fatalities.
The tourists were part of a larger group that was visiting Jewish religious sites in Morocco, the media outlet said.
Morocco is home to an estimated 2,000 to 2,500 Jewish residents, according to Israeli figures.
In December 2022, Morocco and Israel resumed diplomatic relations after US mediation. The move faced criticism from various segments of Moroccan society and political organizations.
While high-level Israeli visits to Rabat were initially scheduled, these activities have been halted due to the ongoing conflict in Gaza.
