Another American has tragically lost their life due to Hamas’s brutal attack in Israel on October 7th.
Reports have surfaced, revealing the tragic death of 70-year-old American citizen Judi Weinstein Haggai during the initial onslaught that sparked the ongoing Israel-Hamas war.
Initially, it was believed and reported that she was being held hostage in Gaza by Hamas members. However, a newly released statement from her Kibbutz states that she was actually killed during the October 7th attack.
Weinstein and her husband, Gadi Haggi, were terrorized on that fateful day during their daily morning stroll outside of Kibbutz Nir Oz. Witnesses who spoke to the Israeli press reported that they were ambushed by armed terrorists on motorcycles.
Weinstein, 70, had her cell phone with her when the horrors began. She was shot in the arm and later wounded in the face, while her 72-year-old husband was shot in the head.
The news of her death comes a week after the announcement of her husband’s death.
According to the IDF, both of their bodies are still being held in Gaza. President Joe Biden also released a statement following the news.
“Jill and I are devastated to learn that American Judy Weinstein is also believed to have been killed by Hamas on October 7. This tragic development cuts deep, coming on the heels of last week’s news that Judy’s beloved husband, Gad Haggai, is believed to have been killed by Hamas. We are holding Judy and Gad’s four children, seven grandchildren, and other loved ones close to our hearts. I will never forget what their daughter, and the family members of other Americans held hostage in Gaza, have shared with me. They have been living through hell for weeks. No family should have to endure such an ordeal. And I reaffirm the pledge we have made to all the families of those still held hostage: we will not stop working to bring them home.”
The family had ties to New York.
Elected government officials from The Empire State also released statements regarding the matter.
It is believed that Hamas is currently holding six Americans hostage in Gaza. All of the American hostages being held are male. In total, 129 individuals taken from Israel on October 7th are still being held captive.
