    Rona Ramon: Journalists Informed Me of Assaf's Death

    Rona Ramon, the widow of Israeli astronaut Ilan Ramon and the mother of Assaf Ramon, who was killed in an Air Force training accident, expressed support on Tuesday for a bill that would ban reporters from making contact with the family of someone who was killed before the family was officially informed by the state.

    In a letter to Member of Knesset Shai Hermesh, Ramon wrote that when her son died, a lot of things started happening around her house and she was contacted by a reporter hours before the military confirmed what had happened.
