Nehemia Lavi, a resident who heard screams and came to help was also murdered and his gun taken by the assailant.

As one of the northern gates, it is opposite to Abwab Mihrab Mariam and between Madrasah al-Karimiyah and Turbah al-Awhadiyah. It is located on the Northern Wall near the eastern corner.
