Elad, Talmon and Nof Ayalon bid farewell to slain teens

The communities of Elad, Talmon and Nof Ayalon pay their respects to Naftali Fraenkel, Eyal Yifrach and Gil-ad Shaar, who were killed by Palestinian terrorists after being kidnapped over two weeks ago.

In each of the communities, loved ones eulogize the teens.

In Sha’albim, Education Minister Shai Piron, there to pay his respects to Naftali Fraenkel, tells Channel 2 that the large number of people attending each of the separate funerals — set to converge into a central funeral in Modiin at 5:30 p.m. this afternoon where all three will be laid to rest — reflects the solidarity Israeli society feels with the three victims.

“Our hearts are torn, wounded,” says Piron gravely. “They are the children of all of us.”
