Mother of 2 brothers killed in terror attack: Nothing will fill the hole in my heart
Esti Yaniv, the mother of the brothers Hallel and Yagel Yaniv who were killed in a terror attack today, says nothing will fill the hole in her heart.
“We received a tremendous slap in the face from God,” she says in a statement picked up by Hebrew media outlets. “We are trying to find the good things, the kindness, that we had a family Shabbat together, good conversations with the kids.”
“We have a huge hole in our hearts,” she continues. “Nothing will close that hole, not [settlement] construction, not a protest — nothing.”
