Odia and Dolev left the city of Sderot with their daughters Romi and Lia during the Hamas attack on October 7, attempting to reach safety. The family's car was caught in gunfire from terrorists, and both parents were killed. Odia, 32, was in the car with her husband Dolev and their daughters when they encountered militants. After Dolev was hit, Odia tried to continue driving with the girls to save them, reaching the vicinity of the Sderot police station, which was itself a battleground. Both Odia and Dolev were killed in the attack, leaving Romi and Lia orphaned in the midst of the fighting. A member of the neighborhood watch, Yair Avinoam, arrived at the scene under fire and managed to rescue the two young girls to a safe location. While the children survived, they lost both their parents that day.
