Fraenkel’s burial service was held in Nof Ayalon and attended by Education Minister Shai Piron.
Following the eulogies, the three funeral events were scheduled to join up in the city of Modiin where the three victims were to be buried side by side.
The bodies of the three teenagers were found on Monday afternoon half buried in a field near Halhul, close to Hebron.
Fraenkel, Shaar, and Yifrach were abducted on June 12 from a hitchhiking post in Gush Etzion, south of Jerusalem.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
