Hen Mazzig on X:
Libby Cohen Meguri was a 22-year-old young woman, touring South America when she decided to cut the trip short to attend the Nova festival, surprising her family by coming home early one morning.
On October 7, Libby was shot while trying to escape.
At 8:11 AM, she called her parents and said:
“They shot me in the stomach. They shot me in the arm. I’m losing blood. I’m going to die.”
Calmly, quietly, she understood that these were her last moments. She asked her parents to call Tomer, her twin brother, and Maya, her little sister, and said:
“I’m going to die. I just want you to listen to me. I love you, Yariv, you’re the best father I could have ever asked for.
Mom, stop screaming, just listen to me—you’re the best mother we could have had. Don’t forget to keep being a good mom to Tomer and Maya after I’m gone.
Tomer, how lucky we were to live this life together. I love you.
My Maya, never forget—you are the treasure of my life.”
When she finished speaking, her parents begged her to get out of the car and played. She did, yet Hamas came back to shoot her again. They fired an entire round of bullets into her.
Her gravestone reads, “Our sunlight was extinguished.”
Never forget Libby.
May her memory forever be a blessing. 💔
