Brandeis Professor’s Daughter Killed by Hamas Gunfire While on Call
A Heartbreaking Tragedy: Brandeis Professor Loses Daughter to Hamas Attack
A retired Brandeis professor, Ilan Troen, shared a devastating account of the moment his daughter was killed by Hamas gunfire in Israel. In a chilling phone call, Troen was speaking to his daughter, Deborah Matias, when terrorists broke into her home and took her life as she shielded her 16-year-old son. Tragically, Matias’s husband, Shlomi, also lost his life in the attack.
According to Troen, his grandson managed to survive the horrifying ordeal by hiding and communicating through text messages. “He was told not to speak and therefore he was to hide and use texting,” Troen explained. “By the time he was rescued, he had 4% left in his battery.”
Describing his daughter as a “child of light and life,” Troen expressed his grief over her untimely death. Matias had pursued her passion for music, attending prestigious institutions like the Berkeley College of Music and the Rimon School of Music in Tel Aviv.
Since the Hamas attacks began, other heartbreaking stories have emerged. Yoseph Haddad, an Israeli activist, reported the tragic fate of Itai and Hadar Berdichevsky, who managed to hide their 10-month-old twins before being gunned down by terrorists in their own home.
Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennet also shared the devastating news of a family of five, including two young girls and a boy, who were killed by terrorists over the weekend.
What measures can be taken to prevent similar heartbreaking incidents like the attack on Ilan Troen’s daughter from occurring in the future?
