The sister of Eli Mizrahi, a victim of yesterday’s terror attack, berates Likud lawmaker Nir Barkat at her brother’s funeral.

Eli and Natali Mizrahi were killed by the Palestinian terrorist when they went outside to help victims of the shooting and are being buried in Beit Shemesh.

Eli Mizrahi’s sister interrupts Barkat, the economy minister, as he speaks at the funeral.

“Get out of here. You’re talking like that because there are people around and there’s media. You’re putting on a show,” she tells him, according to Army Radio.

Eli Mizrahi’s father says he implored the couple to stay off the street during the attack.

“I cried out for them to not go down, but they didn’t answer. They heard gunfire and went out to help,” he says.
