Six Jewish victims of the Mumbai terror attacks, including a Rabbi and his wife, will be buried Jerusalem on Tuesday with thousands of mourners expected to join the funeral service.

The remains of those killed at Nariman House reached Jerusalem late last night in a special Israel Air Force aircraft.

Rabbi Gavriel Holtzberg and his wife Rivka, who ran a cultural and outreach centre for the ultra-orthodox Chabad-Lubavitch movement, were among those who died when terrorists stormed the complex.

The parents of the couple and their two-year-old orphan, Moshe, also travelled in the same plane.

Thousands of people is expected to gather at the headquarters of the Chabad movement near Tel-Aviv where a funeral service will be held prior to the burials in Jerusalem's Mount of Olives.

Israel's Defence Ministry has decided to view the attack on the Jewish institution, also known as the Chabad House, an "enemy action" against the State of Israel.

The decision will entitle the families of the victims of Nariman House the same financial benefits that are granted to victims of terror attacks in Israel.

Israel's Foreign Ministry said all six victims were Jewish of which four were Israeli nationals.
