Rabbi Anshel Friedman, commander of the Northern District of ZAKA, said that Hechalutz Street in Haifa is well known to the organization's volunteers. According to him, this is the fifth case in recent years in which ZAKA volunteers have been called to that street following a person who was found several days after his death.
