(Jerusalem Post) Tovah Lazaroff - St.-Sgt. Tuvia Yanai Weissman, 21, was killed Thursday while trying to stop two Palestinian teenage terrorists from stabbing shoppers at a Rami Levy supermarket in Sha'ar Binyamin. Yael Weissman said of her husband at Jerusalem's Mount Herzl Military Cemetery on Friday, "You didn't have a gun, but still you ran [toward the attackers] without thinking twice. You are a true hero....I always knew that if something happened you would be the first person to respond." Tuvia Yanai's mother, Orly, brought the mourners to tears. "I am going to scream. It is a good scream," she said. And then she did, yelling out his name twice, loudly and clearly. Weissman also held U.S. citizenship.
