The youngest victim of the October 7 massacre lived for just 14 hours.
Her name was Naama Abu Rashed. 💔
Her mother, Sujood, a Bedouin Israeli, was nine months pregnant and in labor when she and her husband were driving to Soroka Medical Center.
They never made it there safely.
At Magen Junction, Hamas terrorists opened fire on their car. Sujood was shot in the abdomen. Her unborn baby was wounded inside her womb.
Doctors fought to save them both.
Naama was delivered alive.
Fourteen hours later, she died.
She never got to go home. She never got to know her family. She never got the chance to grow up.
Hamas did not care that this family was Arab. They did not care that Sujood was Muslim. They did not care that Naama was an innocent newborn.
A year later, Sujood returned to the same hospital and gave birth to another baby girl, Malak.
Tomorrow, when we remember the lives stolen on October 7, remember her name too.
Naama Abu Rashed.
14 hours old.
May her memory be a blessing. 🕯️
