Three children and a rabbi shot dead at a Jewish school in France are laid to rest in Jerusalem.

Their bodies are wrapped in burial shrouds in accordance with orthodox tradition, after being flown to Israel overnight from France.

The service is being held in a hilltop cemetery near the city's entrance.

As the dead were lowered to their final resting place, their suspected killer was in a standoff with police in the southwestern French city of Toulouse.

The victims were 30-year-old Rabbi Jonathan Sandler, his two children aged four and five, and the seven-year-old daughter of the school's principal.
