Two 16-year-old girls, good friends from Tel Aviv who were killed in Tuesday's suicide bombing in Netanya, were laid to rest in a joint funeral at Tel Aviv's Yarkon Cemetery on Wednesday.

Teenage friends Rachel Ben Abu and Nofar Horvitz were among four women and girls killed in the bombing. The other two are Yulia Weltshin, 31, and Anna Lifshitz, 50, who died of her wounds Wednesday. Both were from Netanya.

At least 90 people were wounded in the attack, and 14 were still hospitalized by Wednesday night, one in critical condition.

Early Wednesday morning, IDF troops raided the West Bank city of Tul Karm, the area from which the suicide bomber, an Islamic Jihad activist, was sent to carry out the terror attack. The IDF said the operation was aimed at arresting those Islamic Jihad activists responsible for the bombing.
