Hundreds of family members and friends arrived at this time (Sunday) at the Mount of Repose in Jerusalem to pay their last respects to 50-year-old Tedsa Tshuma, who was mortally wounded in the combined attack that occurred in the capital on Wednesday and died of his wounds at the Shaarei Tzedek hospital at the end of the week.
Tedsa, a member of the Ethiopian community, a father of six, who was injured in the attack on the day of the Eid al-Adha, is the second person murdered in the deadly attack in which the late 16-year-old Aryeh Shechopak was also killed.

Screams of grief were heard at the "Jerusalem Community" obituary house on Mount Manochut in Givat Shaul when the members of Tshuma's family had difficulty digesting the good news of Job.
The participants in the funeral held the picture of the deceased and mirrored with heartbreaking tears.
One of Tedsa Tschuma's friends told Israel Hayom: "Tedsa was a golden boy."
It was quiet and nice.
It's very sad.
I lived next to him for many years in the Neve Yaakov neighborhood in Jerusalem.
It's a terrible disaster.'
The prime minister-designate, Benjamin Netanyahu, visited Tedsah in the hospital this week, and yesterday he said: "On behalf of all the citizens of Israel, I send my heartfelt condolences to the family of Tedsah Tshuma ben Mada, who was mortally wounded in the attack at the entrance to Jerusalem and died of his wounds at the end of the week.
Last week I visited his devoted family who surrounded him with warmth and love, and the doctors who fought valiantly for his life against all odds.
I hug the family at this difficult time."
