Asher Natan, the 14-year-old who was murdered last night in an attack in Neve Yaakov in Jerusalem, was laid to rest tonight (Saturday) at the Mount of Olives cemetery in the city.
At midnight, the funeral of Eli and Nathalie Mizrahi, who were in their 40s, will begin at the Derech HaHaim cemetery in Beit Shemesh.
Relatives, close friends and citizens came to the cemeteries to accompany them for the last time.
Despite the late hour, people who did not know the 14-year-old Asher Natan came to the funeral on the Mount of Olives.
A former paratrooper officer, a resident of Tel Aviv, decided to come alone: "It's a difficult story, I couldn't stay at home. A Jew was murdered."

The Mizrahi couple were sitting together for a family meal, when suddenly they heard gunshots from downstairs, and without hesitation decided to run downstairs to help.
Eyewitnesses said that the couple were murdered while trying to help the other wounded in the attack.
They also said that Natalie was killed while she was performing the soul on other injured humans.
Apart from them, 56-year-old Raphael Ben Eliyahu, 68-year-old Shaul Hai, Irina Korolova and another person, whose details have not yet been released, were also killed in the attack.
Three people were injured - a 15-year-old boy, a 60-year-old woman and a 24-year-old man, Rafael's son.

The attack was carried out by Hayeri Alkam, 21 years old from East Jerusalem, and has a blue ID card.
At 20:15 Alkam arrived at the synagogue on Neve Ya'akov Boulevard in Jerusalem.
The terrorist opened fire, hit several people, fled to his car and drove towards Beit Hanina.
At this point, the police received an update on the case.
The police say that it took them less than five minutes from receiving the initial report to arrive at the scene, even though eyewitnesses claimed that the forces arrived at the scene only fifteen minutes later.
The police tried to make contact, tackled Alkam, and a shootout ensued between him and the police, which ended with the terrorist being killed.
