A 75-year-old woman critically injured in a Hezbollah rocket barrage on Nahariya in November has died of her wounds, the northern city’s municipality announced.
Tamar Edri was severely wounded on November 25 when a rocket struck her home on Jabotinsky Street, just one day before a ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah came into effect.
“We prayed so much and hoped for a different ending, but unfortunately tonight we say goodbye to Tamar with great pain,” the municipality said in a statement.
Edri is survived by her husband, four children, and nine grandchildren. Her death has cast a pall over the community, which has endured the devastating effects of ongoing hostilities in northern Israel.
The November 25 attack was part of an escalation in cross-border violence between Hezbollah and Israel, which saw rocket and missile exchanges causing significant destruction and loss of life.
