The funerals of the four victims of the hostage-taking at a Jewish supermarket in Paris will be held in Jerusalem, the prime minister's office says.

The coffins with the bodies of Yoav Hattab, Philippe Braham, Yohan Cohen and Francois-Michel Saada, accompanied by family members, landed at Israel's Ben-Gurion International Airport before dawn.

The ceremony is scheduled to start at noon local time (2100 AEDT) on Tuesday at Jerusalem's Giv'at Shaul cemetery, a statement said.

The four victims of the 2012 Toulouse school shooting were also buried in Jerusalem.

Black banners were plastered across the city on Monday depicting French and Israeli flags and the French phrase "Jerusalem est Charlie," in solidarity with the victims of the attacks that began at the Paris office of satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo.

Israeli President Reuven Rivlin, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, French Environment Minister Segolene Royal and other dignitaries are scheduled to attend the funeral.
