Father of woman killed at Nova festival commits suicide after devastating loss

 Jerusalem Post

"Vladislav Bongart had been emotionally and mentally deteriorating after his daughter's murder."

"Sofia Bongart loved red roses. She once told her family: “After I die, make me a white grave and bring me a red rose.”

"She had just completed her military service and was beginning her adult life – a joyful and optimistic young woman. On October 7, she traveled with a close friend to the Nova music festival, where both were murdered.

"Every week, her father, Vladislav, visited her white grave and placed red roses on it. He carried the pain inside, withdrawing and deteriorating. Ten days ago, he ended his life at 48 years old." ...

"Around 9 a.m., Liraz was hit. Sofia was beneath her. The horror continued, and at approximately 11:30 a.m., Sofia made a desperate attempt to escape. She stepped outside – and was shot dead."

While Sophia and her friends were dying this Palestinian celebrated:

"Zughayer was released in January as part of a hostage-ceasefire deal that saw the return of 33 hostages for a pause in fighting and the release of over 1000 security prisoners. The 46-year-old terrorist was released into east Jerusalem, where supporters celebrated the release of terrorists illegally by waving Hamas flags." . . .
