The funeral for four of the people killed during a devastating crash in northern Israel yesterday between a bus and multiple other vehicles begins.

Moran Ben-Eli, 35, and her three children, Dekel, 15, Liam, 11, and Annael, 5, of Ma’alot-Tarshiha are being laid to rest at the cemetery in the northern city.

Moran’s husband and the children’s father, Reuven Ben-Eli, who was also in the car and hospitalized in serious condition, is attending the funeral on a stretcher. He was told of their deaths this morning when he woke up in Rambam Medical Center in Haifa, and was transported to the funeral by ambulance.
