Mor Shimli, whose husband Alon was murdered in a terrorist attack in Egypt three years ago, has died. Her uncle, Nahum Israeli, stated that her death ended "three years and 22 days of worry." He described the couple's bond as "very sharp, clear, and strong," making her loss unbearable. Israeli referred to the incident as a "double murder, not a single murder," and even a "quadruple murder" due to the other victims.
Alon Shimli was killed in a terrorist attack in Alexandria on October 8, 2023, by a local security force member. Mor, who was with him during the attack, waited for help for about an hour before being informed 12 hours later that her husband had died. The attack occurred near Pompey's Pillar, a famous tourist site in Alexandria. An Egyptian police officer opened fire, killing two Israeli tourists and an Egyptian tour guide, while another tourist was injured.
Israeli explained that the bullet fired at Alon had a "delay mechanism," and they did not know how long it would last. He believes Mor suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder, having witnessed the event firsthand. Her primary focus in recent years was seeking justice and truth for Alon. Despite her internal struggles, she presented a composed demeanor to others, particularly at memorial events for her husband.
Mor dedicated herself to memorializing Alon, who was a passionate supporter of the Hapoel Tel Aviv football club. A youth team was named in his honor, and his name is displayed at every game. His former school also named its sports hall after him, established a memorial wall, and holds an annual tournament in his memory.
