(IsraelNN.com) Israeli officials remain frustrated amid continuing mayhem in Mumbai, where three Israelis still are missing and three bodies, two of them victims who were slain in the Chabad House and known to be Israelis, remain unidentified. The third body has not yet been examined but there are fears that it is that of an Israeli. Six Chabad House victims, including Rabbi Gavriel and Rivka Holtzberg, were identified.

The chaos began shortly after the terrorist attack began, with hundreds of local residents crowding the streets at the Chabad Hotel long before police arrived. Indian commandos engaged the terrorists while crowds remained adjacent to the buildings and applauded the commandos after the battle. The commandos emerged from the Chabad House with raised hands flashing the victory sign while the bodies of the victims remained inside the building.
