A fatal stabbing of a 21-year-old pizzeria worker in Petah Tikva follows a dispute with teens over snow spray on Independence Day. The worker was critically injured and later died at the hospital.
The murder of the late Yamanu Zelka and the arrest of the suspects in the case left the residents of Petah Tikva shocked. The manager of the Pizza Hut branch in the city where Zelka worked decided to close the branch for one day: "We must give the employees time to digest what happened."
