Nariman House victim was pregnant
Rivka Holtzberg, the wife of the rabbi killed by terrorists at Nariman House was six months pregnant, her father said at her funeral in Jerusalem on Tuesday.
Rivka and her husband, Rabbi Gavriel Holtzberg, were found dead along with four others by NSG commandoes after they stormed the building. All of them were buried in Israel on Tuesday.
During the eulogy, Rivka's father told mourners his daughter had been expecting her second child.

The Holtzbergs were preparing for the Sabbath, or the Jewish weekend, with their son Moshe at their religious centre last week when the Chabat House was targeted by terrorists. Gavriel was able to phone the Israeli consulate to raise the alarm before the line went dead.
The couple's two-year-old son Moshe and his nanny, Sandra Samuel, however, managed to get out alive.
Britain's Sky News reported on Monday that Moshe might have been beaten up by the militants. The chairman of Zaka, Israels ultra-orthodox recovery service, told the television network that the toddler's back was covered with bruises consistent with some form of abuse.
