Suspect Confesses to Killing Rabbi Amos Guetta in Netanya Synagogue

The suspect in the murder of Rabbi Amos Guetta in Netanya has confessed to the killing during police interrogation. According to reports from N12, he is expected to undergo a psychiatric evaluation in the coming days as part of the ongoing legal process. During questioning, when asked why he committed the act, the suspect pointed to the sky and nodded when asked if he meant God. He then mimicked stabbing motions toward his own throat, indicating the nature of the attack.

The stabbing occurred during the morning prayer service at Rabbi Guetta's study hall. The suspect, who was one of the rabbi's followers, had a confrontation with those close to the rabbi over his desire to get closer to him. Suddenly, he drew a knife and stabbed Rabbi Guetta four times. The synagogue's caretaker, who tried to stop the attacker and prevent further stabbings, was also injured in the incident.

After the attack, the suspect fled the scene but was arrested several hours later following a manhunt in central Netanya. The investigation continues as authorities prepare for the suspect's psychiatric assessment and further legal proceedings.
