The funeral of a four-year-old Israeli boy has taken place on Sunday morning, after he was killed by rocket fire from the Gaza strip two days previous.
Israel’s President Reuven Rivlin spoke at Daniel Targerman’s funeral and said: “The whole nation is with you” to the residents of south Israel. Hundreds attended the funeral in a story that has shocked and angered Israeli society.
Targerman was the first child to be killed in the latest round of violence between Israel and the Palestinian factions in Gaza. The Israeli death toll currently stands at 68, four casualties have been civilians and the rest soldiers.
