Police officer killed in early morning ramming laid to rest in Kfar Saba

Barak Meshulam, the police officer killed early this morning in a ramming in central Israel during a high-speed chase, is being laid to rest in his hometown of Kfar Saba.

Hundreds of people are taking part in the funeral. His mother eulogized him, calling him “the salt of the earth.”

“My boy was murdered,” she cries.

His widow Ariela says she “will tell every day what a father you were. You are my life, you are a hero.”

האלמנה אריאלה אמרה מעל חלקת הקבר: "אהבת חיי כבר 11 שנה, אני יום יום אספר איזה אבא היית. אתה החיים שלי, אתה גיבור. תודה שלימדת אותי מהי אהבה. אוהבת אותך לנצח נצחים" pic.twitter.com/tnMhDOtNbe
