和他們的心聲. 他們有數年以致15年的參予發掘經驗.

因天氣太炎熱而需要停止. 休息後轉至室內
繼續整理出土的物品. 這就是典型的一天.

Senior Christian figure stabbed to death in Jaffa
By YAAKOV LAPPIN 

Police spokesman says stabbing occurred at end of Orthodox Christmas march;
victim identified as Gabriel Cadis.

A senior Christian figure was stabbed to death by an unknown attacker
during a march to mark the Orthodox Christmas in Jaffa on Friday night.
Police identified the murder victim as Gabriel Cadis,
Chairman of  the Jaffa Orthodox Church Association.

Police spokesman Moshe Katz told The Jerusalem Post 
that the stabbing occurred at the end of a march held by the Christian community
along a Jaffa street. The attacker was dressed up as Santa Clause,
according to a number of eye witnesses.

"People around him evacuated him from the scene," the spokesman added.

The stab victim was rushed to the Wolfson Medical Center in nearby Holon.
Doctors attempted to save his life but were unsuccessful,
and he was pronounced death shortly after arrival.

Police said no suspect has yet been arrested,
and that it was too soon to know the motive behind the incident.
