A woman widowed in last night’s deadly terror attack in Elad mourns the loss of her husband Boaz Gol, one of the three victims.
“How did I lose him? God, why did this happen to us? Why do we deserve this?” Galit Gol shouts outside the family’s home in Elad, according to the Ynet news site.
“In one day my life ended. In one day everything turned upside down,” she adds.
Boaz Gol’s sister-in-law says he was walking to a Torah lesson when he was killed.
“His daughters, may they be healthy, said they can’t be without him. His wife also… I told the girls that dad went to get the messiah. I believe wholeheartedly he went to get the messiah,” Rozie Levy tells the news site.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
