Dozens attended an emotional memorial ceremony at Ben Gurion International Airport on Saturday as the body of 18-year-old Ezra Schwartz, an American citizen slain in a West Bank shooting attack on Thursday, was put on a flight to Boston, Massachusetts for burial.
Participants, many from a group of Yeshiva volunteers from Bet Shemesh who were traveling with Schwartz, gathered in a large circle and sang Israel's National Anthem HaTikvah

Schwartz was one of five people killed in attacks on Thursday in Tel Aviv and the West Bank, making it the bloodiest day yet in a wave of violence that began nearly two months ago.
