What's appalling is to see a young woman whose life has been snuffed out for being in the wrong place at the wrong time, and a symbol, among many, of the insanity that's been going on for decades in this part of the world.
Now before one decides what's what in terms of being buried either inside or outside the cemetery, we should hear first from a well-versed person how Judaism usually deals with these cases. I would personally have let her be buried inside. It seems to me to be the right thing to do and I see no reason against it. However I'm not of jewish confession and my knowledge on this matter is too limited to judge.
Because the Bible doesn't refer to a lot of day-to-day stuff, there was a need to expand on it. Thus came about some books, and the most important of them to the actual ruling is the Halakha. it was written hundreds of years ago and current rabbis keep expanding on it but based on it, if that makes sense.
I'd think that Immams in mosques do the same.
Anyway,
According to the Halakha, you don't bury a non-Jew next to Jews. can't remember why exactly.
now, this woman was on her way to becoming Jewish by conversion which is specific for soldiers of the IDF (it's faster and disliked by orthodox Jews, but they have no choice but to accept it and the converted people as Jews).
Seeing as she didn't complete the process, she is considered a non-Jew.
Her body must have been sent, after identification, to Khevra Kadisha, which is the organization that is in charge of burials in Israel.
They go by the Halakha. There are indeed several "civil (secular) cemeteries" in Israel and you can ask to be buried there,
but most people don't do that- whether by lack of thought, knowledge, money (I assume it's more expensive), or other reasons.
so the Khevra Ksddisha buried the murdered young lady in a different part of the cemetery dedicated to non-Jews,
because for them that's the way to go, no exceptions seeing as this is god's will.
After a huge public outcry, I saw an article where some Rabbis who are responsible for this or that on a national level,
saying that there should have been at least a consideration to make an exception, because the Halakha has solutions to everything, essentially.
Some of them said she should have been buried regularly because she was murdered as a Jew.
I wonder how it will be resolved.
