South African Jews mourn Gilad, Eyal and Naftali

The South African Jewish community says it “mourns with the families of Gilad Shaer, Eyal Yifrah and Naftali Fraenkel.”

“Since the boys’ abduction, South Africa’s Jewish community has added its voice to the worldwide prayers and appeals for their safe return. With the discovery of their bodies yesterday, these hopes were cruelly dashed, and a pall of sorrow has been cast over the Jewish world. This was an act of sheer evil carried out without pity,” the community says in a statement.

Memorial services for the teens will be held throughout South Africa.
