Ariel Beigel, whose future brother and father-in-law were killed in a shooting attack near Hevron on Friday, spoke with Army Radio on Sunday about the aftermath of the attack. 

According to Beigel, when he first received information on the attack, it was not clear if any members of the Litman family had been killed. 

"At first they told me there was an attack on the way, and they weren't sure if everyone was alive," Beigel recounted, adding that he later learned his fiancee's father and brother had been murdered in the attack. 

His fiancee started to receive "a wave of phone calls," Beigel said. "When the emergency team from Kiryat Arba came to tell her in person, she already knew."

"With G-d's help, we will be happy again," he added. "There will be no wedding on Tuesday, of course. What will happen next we do not know. It's too soon. We hope [the wedding] will happen as early as possible."

Asked what he had said to his fiancee after the deadly attack, Beigel replied he couldn't say anything. "She needs her time to digest and process. Nothing can be said. To lose a father and brother in one moment is not something one can understand."

Rabbi Ya'akov Litman, 40,  and his 18-year-old son Netanel were laid to rest Saturday night in a heart-wrenching ceremony at Jerusalem's Har Hamenuchot cemetery
