Mor Shemali, the wife of Alon Shemali, a youth coach for Hapoel Tel Aviv who was murdered in a terrorist attack in Egypt on October 8, 2023, has passed away. Mor, who was with her husband during the attack and witnessed the aftermath, had been dedicated to commemorating his memory. Her uncle, Nachum Israeli, eulogized her, stating that she had not been at peace since her husband's death and that her soul could now rest. Alon Shemali was killed in Alexandria by a terrorist who was a member of the local security forces. The attack occurred near Pompey's Pillar, a Roman victory column and popular tourist site. An Egyptian police officer opened fire, killing two Israeli tourists, wounding another, and also killing the Egyptian tour guide. Mor Shemali had described her husband as her entire world, a quiet, modest, and kind person who treated everyone with love and support. In recent years, Mor had worked to honor Alon's memory, particularly his connection to Hapoel Tel Aviv. A youth team at the club was named in his honor, and his name is displayed at every game. A school where Alon worked also named its sports hall after him, established a memorial wall, and holds an annual tournament in his memory.
