By JERUSALEM -- Mourners grasped at dirt atop fresh graves and screamed in agony Friday as they buried the five Israeli victims of a bombing in Bulgaria.. Two days after the blast in a popular vacation spot, investigators in Bulgaria and in several other countries were still struggling to confirm the attacker's identity.. Bulgarian prosecutors said the attacker had short hair, not the long hair seen in the security video footage captured of him at the airport. A witness said he appeared to be wearing a wig.. The victims' coffins were received early Friday in a military ceremony at Israel's international airport. Seventeen Israelis remain in hospitals.. Childhood friends Itzik Kolengi, 28, and Amir Menashe, 27, were buried in the central Israeli town of Petah Tikva.. Kolengi's wife, Gilat, was wounded in the attack and remains hospitalized. The couple has an infant daughter.. Menashe's wife, who was also wounded, attended the funeral in a wheelchair. They have an infant son.. Nearby, in Rishon Lezion, hundreds of mourners joined the family of Cochava Shriki, 42, who had recently become pregnant after years of fertility treatments.. In the town of Acre, Maor Harush, 26, and friend Elior Price, 24, were laid to rest. A third friend remains hospitalized.. Israeli and American officials have blamed the Iran-backed Lebanese militant group Hezbollah for Wednesday's bombing, which also killed a Bulgarian bus driver and the attacker
