Mor Shimli, the widow of Alon Shimli who was murdered in a terror attack in Alexandria, Egypt, on October 8, 2023, was laid to rest on Friday morning at the Holon cemetery. Her untimely death last week followed more than three years of deep suffering and trauma from the incident where she witnessed her husband's murder.
Mor's uncle, Nachum, wrote on Facebook that Mor had not been at peace for three years since the attack, stating "You died already then three years ago! When that bullet pierced the heart of your beloved Alon, it also pierced yours. But... now be at peace!" He added that a "huge crack" had opened in the hearts of their family three years ago, which has now grown larger, but expressed hope that Mor is now at peace. He concluded by saying the family remains to "lick the wounds, mend the broken pieces, preserve life."
Alon and Mor Shimli were on an organized tour in Egypt the day after the October 7th massacre in Israel. On the morning of October 8th, an Egyptian police officer opened fire on a group of Israeli tourists in Alexandria. Alon, 34, was killed in the attack along with two other Israelis. The article notes that these three victims were largely overshadowed by the national trauma of the October 7th events.
