American Friends of the Hebrew University is heartbroken to repost the below news from the Hebrew University. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family of Carmel Gat (z"l) and all those lost.
The Hebrew University of Jerusalem bows its head in mourning for Carmel Gat, a Master’s student at the School of Occupational Therapy, who was murdered while in the captivity of Hamas. The bodies of Carmel and five others were tragically recovered by the IDF from a Hamas terror tunnel in Rafah, Gaza. We also mourn the loss of Hersh Goldberg-Polin (23), Almog Sarusi (27), Ori Danino (25), Alexander Lobanov (33), and Eden Yerushalmi (24). May their memories forever be a blessing.
