Charlie Hebdo attacks: Families lay kosher store victims to rest in Jerusalem

Now, five days after Philippe Braham, Yohan Cohen, Yoav Hattab and François-Michel Saada were shot dead during the final, tragic chapter to the Charlie Hebdo terror attacks in the French capital that shocked the world, their devastated families are laying them to rest in a cemetery in Jerusalem.

The bodies of the four men, all French Jews, were flown to Israel’s Ben Gurion Airport on Tuesday morning, before a convoy of ambulances carried their coffins to waiting crowds of mourners at Givat Shaul cemetery in Jerusalem.

Saada, 63, was a retired senior executive and the father two children who both live in Israel.

Braham, 45, worshipped at a synagogue in the Paris suburb of Montrouge — and his children attended a Jewish school not far from where a police officer was killed the day before, allegedly by the same attacker who took his life the supermarket siege.
