Hundreds of mourners attend the funeral of Ya’akov Shalom, 36, one of the five victims in the Bnei Brak terror attack.
Shalom, a father of four, was shot dead while driving his car.
His funeral is attended by Shas leader Aryeh Deri.
Shalom was the son of Rabbi Meir Shalom, a prominent leader of the Yemenite community in Beni Brak who died last year of COVID.
“A year and a half ago we were here to mourn your father, the late Rabbi Meir, and we did not think we would be back here so fast,” one of the mourners says in a eulogy, according to the Srugim website.
