And burying them again. The new order of the day.
The IDF rabbinate was slated Sunday morning to begin the process of exhuming the 48 Gush Katif graves and re-interring them within Israel.
Two funeral ceremonies were already scheduled: those of Nehamia Winter at 12:00 p.m. in the new Nitzan cemetery, and the funeral of Samion Likah early Sunday evening in Sderot.
IDF Chaplain General Brig.-Gen. Yisrael Weiss explained that halacha calls for the immediate relatives to observe mourning from the moment a body is disinterred until dusk. They are also required to observe kriya, the ritual tearing of their clothing, but without reciting the prayer.
Weiss also said that the full picture would only be determined on Sunday when they open the graves. Not only are the bodies to be disinterred, but the earth around them according to Jewish law and the tombstones too.
The tombstones would likely be shattered during the opening of the graves. They will be collected and reburied in a mass tombstone grave, Weiss promised.
Meanwhile, no dead - yet - in today's suicide bomb attack in Beersheva. But the two security guards who foiled it are fighting for their lives.
A suicide bomb attack at the entrance to the central bus station in Beersheba critically wounded two security guards Sunday morning and caused a total of 48 people to be evacuated to the Soroka Medical Center.
The two security guards in their 20's who prevented the suicide bomber from getting onto a bus were in serious condition at Soroka University Medical Center on Sunday.
Both their lives are still in danger after suffering burns and shrapnel wounds. One of the guards underwent surgery for his wounds, while the other had shrapnel in his eyes.
All the four dozen others who had been treated at Soroka's emergency room, most of them for shock, have been released
Here's the kicker, as if one was needed:
Initial investigations suggested that the bomber had intended to blow up at the Soroka Medical Center, Channel 2 reported.
