The man killed in a terror attack in Jerusalem’s Old City on Sunday was named as Eli Kay, 26, from the central Israeli city of Modiin. Kay, a recent immigrant from South Africa who was employed at the Western Wall as a tour guide, was shot dead by a Hamas gunman in Jerusalem’s Old City. Before working at the Western Wall, he had volunteered in Kibbutz Nirim in southern Israel for a year, after completing his military service. He did his holy work with dedication and loyalty,” the Western Wall Heritage Foundation said in a statement on Sunday. Rabbi Zeev Katzenelnbogen, a 46-year-old father of eight, was wounded in the deadly shooting attack as he was returning home from morning prayers at the Western Wall.
