Thousands of people attended the funerals of five of the victims of yesterday\'s terrorist attack. Four of the dead were from Ashkelon, and were buried in the city\'s Military Cemetery: Cpl. Yasmin Karisi, 18; Cpl. Alexander Manevitz, 18; Sgt. Kochava Polansky, 19; and Sgt. Rachel Levy, 19. The only civilian killed in the attack, Simcha Sheetrit, 30, was buried in Rishon Letzion. The funeral service of Sgt. Julie Weiner, 21, of Jerusalem, will be held tomorrow morning at Mt. Herzl Military Cemetery in Jerusalem.
St.-Sgt. Ophir Megidish, 20, and his next-door neighbor Sgt. David Ilouz, 21, of Kiryat Malachi, were buried there last night. Thousands of persons attended the funeral services, at which the two were interred next to one another.
The terrorist who murdered them by crashing his bus into a crowded bus stop yesterday is recovering from his wounds, and was interrogated by the GSS last night. He said that he decided several days ago to perpetrate the attack, and that it was not precipitated by the Israeli killing of terrorist leader Masoud Ayad two days ago. Nine of the wounded are still hospitalized, two in very serious condition.
