An Israeli security guard killed last week in a suicide bombing in Kfar Saba will be buried in Israel and not in Ukraine, as his family originally planned. Alexander Kostyuk, 23, of Bat Yam, was killed April 24 when he blocked the terrorist from entering the Kfar Saba train station. Some 20 people were wounded in the attack. Kostyuk’s family initially said he would be buried in Ukraine.
