The four French Jews killed in the terror attack in Paris last week were today buried here after an emotional funeral procession joined by Israel's top leadership which described the attackers as "not just enemies of the Jews but all of humanity".

Israel's President Reuven Rivlin and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahuhe attended the funeral of the four Jewish victims whose bodies were flown here from France early morning. Israel's President Reuven Rivlin said that it was unacceptable that seven-decades after the Holocaust, Jews were afraid to walk in the streets of Europe.

"We cannot allow that in 2015, 70 years since the end of World War II, Jews are afraid to walk in the streets of Europe with skullcaps and tzitzit," he said at the funeral procession, attended by many public figures and throngs of mourners.

"These aren't just enemies of the Jews, but all of humanity," the Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahuhe said. "It's about time that all of the civilised world unite and uproot these enemies from our midst."
