Ya’alon turns down families’ request for military burial
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleChannel 2 reports that the families of kidnapped students Gilad Shaar, Eyal Yifrach and Naftali Fraenkel, who were found dead in the West Bank on Monday, requested that the boys be laid to rest in a military cemetery.
