Paris siege victims being buried in Israel

articlemain

The bodies of four Jews killed in the terrorist attack on a Parisian kosher supermarket last week are being buried in Israel today.

The funerals of Yoav Hattab, Philippe Braham, Yohan Cohen and Francois-Michel Saada will take place in Jerusalem.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will attend.

The four were killed after they were taken hostage by Amedy Coulibaly at the Hyper Cacher supermarket in eastern Paris on Friday.

Coulibaly was shot dead by police. His partner, Hayat Boumeddiene, is believed to have escaped to Syria, and other members of their terror cell are being hunted by police.

As news of the attack broke, the hashtag #JeSuisJuif (“I am Jewish”) started to trend on social media sites in solidarity with the victims.

The bodies of three police officers killed in terrorist attacks are being buried in France today.
