The corpse of four French Jews killed in an Islamist attack on a kosher supermarket in Paris arrived in Israel early Tuesday ahead of a funeral in Jerusalem according to reports

The four Jews were among 17 people gunned down in Paris during three days of bloodshed that shook France to the core and sent shock waves through its Jewish community, the third largest in the world.

Yoav Hattab, Philippe Braham, Yohan Cohen and Francois-Michel Saada were, at the kosher supermarket in eastern Paris on Friday shortly before the start of the Jewish sabbath when it was attacked by Islamist gunman Amedy Coulibaly.

All four were shot dead and another 15 people taken hostage by Coulibaly before police stormed the building, killing him.

Coulibaly had links to the two Islamic extremists behind the massacre of 12 people at the Paris offices of satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo two days earlier.

Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday said he had agreed to a request from the families that the victims be buried in Jerusalem.
