In life and in death they were not separated:

hundreds of family members, friends and soldiers are participating this hour (Monday) at the Mount Herzl Military Cemetery in the funeral of Hillel Menachem Weigal Yaakov Yaniv, who was murdered yesterday in the fatal shooting attack in Hawara.

The two brothers will be buried side by side

The Binyamin Regional Council this morning called on the residents to participate in a show of support and encouragement for the Yaniv family who left at noon on their way to the Hillel Weigal brothers' funeral on Mount Herzl in Jerusalem.

At this time, many residents are at the intersections on Route 60 in Ofra, at the gas station square across from Mechmash, Baali and Shiloh.

Binyamin Council employees also take part in the show of support.

They stand at the Shaar Binyamin intersection together with the students of the Kochav Ya'akov Studio and accompany the family with Israeli flags.

In a message issued this morning by the head of the council, Israel Gantz, to the council's employees, he wrote: "We are all pained by the murder of the Hillel Weigal brothers, and by the uprising of the Arab enemy against each and every one of us.

Out of a desire to strengthen them and strengthen our spirit and that of the people of Israel, we council workers will go to the Shaar Binyamin intersection to be with them on their way.

I will attend the funeral on Mount Herzl in your name and in the name of the residents of Binyamin.

We will pray that the people of Israel will gather the strength they have and know how to strike at their enemies and bravely champion the righteousness of their path," Gantz wrote.

Also on the way back from the funeral, many residents from Binyamin settlements are expected to accompany the family at intersections along Route 60.
