    Israeli police in front of the store investigatingRamat Gan, Israel – A religious Jew from a Chabad family in Givat Shmuel was killed today at the Ramat Gan delivery service he ran with his brother. A former Arab employee he had dismissed came back to the office, and following a dispute, pulled out a knife, stabbed his former boss and fled the scene.

    The victim, Dotan Natanel Mangami, Hy”d, 33, had planned to move to a new home with his two small children and pregnant wife, but those plans came to an abrupt end with today’s knife attack. At first Magen David Adom paramedics managed to stabilize him and evacuate him in critical condition, but later he succumbed to his multiple stab wounds.

    The identity of the 20-year-old assailant, who had worked as a deliveryman, is known to police.

    After the family was notified, relatives gathered in the family home in Givat Shmuel, a small city located between Ramat Gan and Bnei Brak. “He wasn’t the eldest son, but he was the most dominant one in the family, like a big brother to his 12 brothers and sisters,” said the deceased’s brother-in-law, Yitzchok. “He used to keep everyone entertained and helped everyone financially. This is a real tragedy for us.” According to family members the widow saw her husband lying in a pool of blood, and since then has been unwilling to speak to anybody.

    Chaggai Mangami said his brother studied at a yeshiva in Lod and later opened a delivery business with a large number of employees. He said the family members are unacquainted with the killer, but are aware the dispute was over money. “My brother owed him NIS 380 [$100], but he refused to give it to him, saying it was offset by fuel costs,” said Chaggai. “The company motors scooters belonged to him and he had problems with deliverymen who used too much gas, so he would dock their pay.”

    Family members say the niftar’s brother and partner, Pinchos, 32, now fears for his life. “We want to see the killer arrested and justice served. Violence is getting worse and worse in Israel. It’s come to the point where I feel like I’m in New York before Giuliani.”

    This afternoon police requested an autopsy, but following intervention by ZAKA’s legal department the police agreed to a regular external examination.

    The levaya was held this evening (Monday). The niftar is survived by two sons, ages two and three-and-a-half, and a wife in her sixth month of pregnancy.

    The man suspected of the stabbing gave himself up to Tel Aviv police on Monday evening according to the Jerusalem Post

    Imagine if it was a jew that stabbed an arab to death. It would be headlines in every newspaper and news sites. The Israeli government would be falling over their feet apologizing. Condemnation would be heard from Israel and every country in the world.

    it would seem easier to say pay the $100, however, is this what someone should fear? that anytime theres a dispute, he should pay in fear he may get killed??!!!

    if you live with such fear, than dont hire an arab, or do any business with them.

    There are plenty of people from other countries that are taking over for the work that the Arabs were used for. Israel’s economy would be fine if no one hired another Arab.

    My heart goes out to this man’s family. I can understand and appreciate the outrage. However, I don’t think its fair to treat this as an “arab” issue. Fired non-arab workers in the u.s. have also committed similar senseless murders of their former employers and co-workers.
