The grandfather of the three-month-old baby killed in last week's terror attack next to a light railway stop in Jerusalem has explained how her family is coping with their grief.

Shimshon Halperin said: "There's remarkable pain, but we are overcoming it by accepting the decree from heaven.

"The baby came to this world for a mission, she fulfilled her mission, and God took her soul back to heaven."

Baby Chaya Zissel Braun - an Israeli-American citizen - was killed when a local Arab man drove a car into a crowd of pedestrians.
