Citing safety, authorities ask public not to attend rocket victim’s funeral en masse
Science Minister Ofir Akunis will attend the funeral for Moshe Agadi, who was killed in a rocket attack that struck outside his home in Ashkelon, on behalf of the government.
As the military instructs residents of the area to avoid gatherings of more than 300 people, the Ashkelon municipality has asked the public not to attend the funeral en masse.
The funeral is scheduled for 4 p.m. in the city’s Givat Tzion cemetery.
