Friend of Brooklyn family: Children likely to be buried in Israel

A family acquaintance of the Sassoon family in Brooklyn, said Saturday that the seven children who were killed in a fire at the family's home will likely be buried in Israel.

The acquaintance said the Sassoon father was still in shock and that the entire community had still not registered the shocking event.

The acquaintance added that Gayle Sassoon, the mother, and her daughter Sipora do not know of the deaths of their other family members as they are sedated and intubated.
