South Florida Man Related To Slain Teen In Israel

MIAMI (CBSMiami) — It’s a heartbreaking day in Israel as three murdered teens are laid to rest. They were kidnapped and killed while hitchhiking home from school in the West Bank more the two weeks ago. Their bodies were found Monday and that pain of loss stretches around the world to South Florida.

“When that information hit yesterday, it hurt!” said David Halberstam, the cousin of one of the victims. “I hurt real bad.”

Halberstam lives in Hollywood. His cousin is 16-year old Naftali Frenkel. Halberstam, like the Israeli government, believes Hamas is behind the deadly abductions.

“I think the question you ask is why,” he said. “I know the other side, Hamas, they have a crippling legacy of butchery and heartless savagery.”
