Entire families were decimated in yesterday's devastating terrorist massacre in Haifa, with the bloodshed spanning three generations in two different families. Among the 19 victims were five members of each of two different families, three husband-and-wife pairs, three children, a baby, and four Christian Arabs.

Five members of the Zer-Aviv family of Kibbutz Yagur, southeast of Haifa, were murdered:

Bruriah, 59;

her son Betzalel, 30, and his wife Keren, 29;

and their children Liran, 4, and Noyah, 14 months.

They will be buried on Tuesday afternoon.
