‘Mom, I can’t take it in that you are not here’: terror victim Laura Yitzhak laid to rest

Laura Yitzhak, 43, one of the four victims killed in yesterday’s terror attack in Beersheba is laid to rest in the southern city.
One of Yitzhak’s three daughters eulogies her saying: “Mom, I can’t take it in that you are not here, I thank you for how you taught me. I will not forget you, I promise to look after the children. You are a hero.”
“I am writing you a letter with tears. I will not forget this day that you went to the World to Come. Never forget me,” another of her daughters says.
Tal, her husband, says: “I fell in love with you at first sight when we served together in the army.”
The attacker, he says, “decided to kill in cold blood for no reason, because she was Jewish.”
“What will I do now,” Tal asks. “You are the one who takes care of me, the girls, the home.”

During the funeral, a man shouts at Diaspora Minister Nachman Shai as he addresses the crowds.
“Look at the father, we are fed up. You are dispelling the security,” the man reportedly shouts, a criticism of government policies towards law enforcement in the south of the country.
Other mourners attempted to silence the man, reports say.
