Mor Shimli, whose husband Alon was murdered before her eyes in an attack in Alexandria, Egypt, one day after the October 7th massacre, has passed away. Her uncle, Nachum, wrote on Facebook that three years had passed since she was "no longer quiet, no longer present, no longer herself." He added, "Now, may you rest in peace. When that bullet pierced the heart of your beloved Alon, it also pierced yours. We are left here to lick our wounds, mend the fractures, and preserve life."
For the past three years, Shimli had been active in preserving her husband Alon's memory and pursued legal action to ensure justice for the killer and to commemorate him as one of the October 7th victims.

She elaborated on the profound trauma, "When they murdered us, the bullet hit Alon's heart and my heart. But my pain did not end with the shot, it began with it and continued for another two years. I used this time to try and achieve minimal justice but did not succeed (our country failed in this). I'm sorry if I hurt everyone, I wish you could understand and forgive. Now I am not suffering, now I am happy, whole."
