Raz Mizrahi z”l
22 yr. old Raz Mizrahi from Gdera, had enlisted as a combatant in the Border Police.
In May 2019, during “Operation Guardian of the Walls”, while manning a roadblock in the Sheikh Jarah neighbourhood in East Jerusalem, she was mowed down by a terrorist.Underneath the wheels of his murdering car, she saw her dreams shattered and realized she would probably never walk again.
However, after several painful surgeries, and long months of rehabilitation, her spirit, resilience, and determination brought her back to the service to realize her dream of becoming a commanding officer; 18 months after the brutal terrorist attack on her and her comrades, she proudly wore the officer ranks on her shoulders.
In the early hours of the morning, on Saturday, October 7, 2023, Raz was brutally massacred, at the Nova Music Festival, together with another 260 young Israelis, gathered to celebrate their love of nature, music, peace, and life.
