Mumbai, 28 Nov. (AKI) – Indian commandos ended the siege at a Jewish centre in Mumbai on Friday while fighting continued at one of the luxury hotels two days after the city came under attack from extremists. Reports citing an Israeli diplomat said that five hostages had been killed, among them former Brooklyn Rabbi Gavriel Noach Holtzberg and his wife Rivka.
The couple ran the ultra-orthodox Jewish centre, known as Chabad Lubavitch, located at Nariman House.
An Israeli rescue service run by Orthodox Jews also said its staff sent to Mumbai to help at the siege believed that hostages in the Chabad centre had died.
Two workers and a young child had escaped from the Jewish centre on Thursday. The child was identified as the son of Rabbi Holtzberg.
A team of at least nine Indian commandos dropped onto the Jewish Centre’s roof from helicopters and stormed the building on Friday.
Late on Friday, police in Mumbai said the death toll had reached 143 with the discovery of 24 bodies in the luxury Oberoi hotel, where guests were set free on Friday as security forces took control of the building.
Elsewhere in the city, gunfire and grenade blasts were reportedly still being heard at the Taj Mahal hotel.
