The mother of two young boys who were killed in a terror attack on Friday says their father, who was also hurt in the car-ramming in Jerusalem, still doesn’t know what happened.
Yaakov Yisrael Paley, 6, was buried shortly after the attack, while his older brother, 8-year-old Asher Menahem Paley, died yesterday of his wounds. Their brother Moshie, 10, was lightly hurt and released from the hospital over the weekend and their father, 42, remains hospitalized in moderate condition.
“We pray that he’ll wake up healthy and that God will give him the strength to face the new reality,” the mother, Dvora, tells reporters as she marks the traditional mourning period. “What will happen to our two sweet ones?”
“They were happy, good children who liked to help,” she adds.
Responsibly covering this tumultuous time
As The Times of Israel’s political correspondent, I spend my days in the Knesset trenches, speaking with politicians and advisers to understand their plans, goals and motivations.
I'm proud of our coverage of this government's plans to overhaul the judiciary, including the political and social discontent that underpins the proposed changes and the intense public backlash against the shakeup.
