Netanyahu: All of Israel mourns the students killed by flood

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says all of Israel mourns the 10 students who were killed by flash foods yesterday while hiking near the Dead Sea.

“In this difficult hour, our hearts are with the families who suffer from their grief, a sorrow of which there is none heavier,” he says.

Regarding the students who died, Netanyahu says “they were full of love for the nation, the land, the people. They just wanted to give.”

“There are no words of comfort apart from the embrace we give to the families, friends and students of the Bnei Zion pre-military academy,” he says. “We’re with you. We’ll always be with you.”
