Thousands of Israeli Druze and Jews at Funeral for Policeman Slain in Terror Attack
(Ynet News) Kobi Nachshoni - The Druze and Jewish communities in Israel on Wednesday honored Master-Sergeant Zidan Saif, the Druze policeman who died from wounds sustained in Tuesday's synagogue terror attack. President Reuven Rivlin and Internal Security Minister Yitzhak Aharonovich were among those present at the funeral. "Your son did not hesitate or waver....He stood fearlessly against the terrorists and risked his life to protect the people of Jerusalem," Rivlin said. A religious ruling by the late Rabbi Ovadia Yosef, distributed in social networks, said a prayer for the dead must be recited in a synagogue for a Druze fighter who gave his life to protect Israel.
