Bruna Valeanu, a 24-year-old student from Brazil, had recently moved to Israel. She was attending the Supernova music festival in the southern part of the country when Hamas militants attacked and killed hundreds of people – including Valeanu, "CBS Evening News" anchor Norah O'Donnell reports.
Her family is new to the country. They were planning a funeral for Tuesday but don't know many people. To hold a Jewish religious service, a quorum of at least 10 people need to attend, called a minyan. The family didn't know if they could hold a prayer service for her funeral.
They posted on social media asking if 10 people could attend, O'Donnell reported on "CBS Mornings" on Wednesday.
