Husband of Tzeela Gez says he is ‘broken’ by wife’s murder, but ‘will be strong’

Hananel Gez, the husband of Tzeela Gez, who was killed last night in a terror attack in the northern West Bank while en route to the hospital to deliver her baby, says that he is “broken” by his wife’s death, but that he “will be strong.”

In a message said by Hebrew media to have been sent to a family WhatsApp group, Hananel writes, “Today is a sad day. Last night, my wife was murdered. We were on our way to the hospital to give birth to our fourth child.”

“Obviously, I am broken,” continues Hananel, who was himself lightly injured in the shooting. “This is natural. But I thank God that I am alive, and I will be strong in order to continue to be a light to the world. Because we will never let them break us.”

“I am very, very sad,” he writes. “But I will continue to fight for the welfare of our people… we will survive, succeed, and prosper.”
