Heart-wrenching Facebook post by Tel Aviv victim

A Facebook post from one of today’s victims, Alon Bakal, makes for heart-wrenching reading.

The Hebrew post, from three months ago, says simply: “Moved to Tel Aviv. New year, new beginning.”

Bakal’s father mourned him earlier today as “a very special child. He was very special to us. Yesterday he sent me a message: ‘I am having fun, I love to live.’”
