Hersh, Carmel, Alex, Eden, Or, Almog: The 6 Hostages Murdered
Stand for Israel | September 3, 2024
These six were cruelly executed by Hamas before the IDF had a chance to rescue them. With broken hearts, we learn more about who they were and their efforts to protect and survive, even as terrorists were attacking on October 7. The Times of Israel tells us more:
Goldberg-Polin’s arm was blown off from the elbow as Hamas terrorists lobbed grenades into the shelter. Shapira threw at least half a dozen grenades back out of the shelter before he was killed.
Goldberg-Polin was seen alive in a video released by terrorists in April.
His parents had campaigned prominently for his release, frequently meeting with US President Joe Biden and other officials…
Master Sgt. Ori Danino, 25, an off-duty noncommissioned officer who attended the Nova rave, initially escaped the attack but went back to try and save others.
Danino and a friend left the party in separate vehicles, filling the cars with as many people as possible to help them escape the Hamas killing spree.
One of the six was Hersh. His mother Rachel Goldberg fought tirelessly for his freedom and was interviewed by Yael here. Our hearts go out to the families, and we pray for some of God’s light to wash over them during this unimaginably painful time. And may these six finally find peace and their memories be a blessing.
