The funeral of an Israeli soldier murdered after being lured to a West Bank village by a Palestinian colleague is due to take place today.

Tomer Hazan, a 20-year-old from Bat Yam, was attacked by Nidal Amar on Friday night. The two men had worked together in a restaurant in Israel.

Amar was arrested by Shin Bet security officers who said he had later confessed to killing Sgt Hazan.

It was claimed Amar carried out the attack in an apparent attempt to secure the release of his brother, a terrorist being held in an Israeli jail.
