Father-daughter heroes: Both killed in separate terror attacks in less than a year

In Sunday’s terror attack on Route 35 near the Tarqumiya checkpoint, north of Hebron, three police officers lost their lives, including 1st Sgt. Roni Shakuri. Roni’s daughter, 1st Sgt. Mor Shakuri, had been killed in the battle for the Sderot police station on October 7.

Oren Ohana, Roni Shakuri’s brother-in-law, described him as “an amazing person, special, an angel in human form – honest, modest, always caring for others. Mor was everything to him, and after she was killed, he wasn’t really living anymore. He withdrew into himself but slowly learned to cope.”

Sderot Mayor Alon Davidi extended his condolences to the family, saying, “Together with all the residents of Sderot and the people of Israel, I share in the grief of the families and feel the profound sorrow over the loss of 1st Sgt. Roni Shakuri, who was killed this morning in the horrific attack in Tarqumiya. Roni had tragically lost his daughter, Mor, a police officer who fell on October 7 during the battle at the Sderot police station. My thoughts are with the IDF soldiers and commanders who are fighting bravely,” he said in a statement.
