The woman killed Tuesday evening in a Hezbollah rocket strike at Mahanaim Junction in the Upper Galilee was identified as 27-year-old Nuriel Dubin, as the Lebanese terrorist group fired a barrage of about 30 rockets toward the area.
Dubin had previously lived in the Golan Heights community of Bnei Yehuda and in recent years moved to Margaliot, a moshav, or cooperative farming village, in the Galilee Panhandle near the Lebanese border. She was due to be married in about six months.
“At this difficult hour, the Golan community embraces her parents, Yoram and Shoshana, her brother Aviram, her sister Sapir, her partner Yedid and the entire family,” the Golan Regional Council said in a statement.
“The council and all of the Golan send a big embrace to the community of Bnei Yehuda and to the Mitzpe Golan school, where her mother Shoshana is a devoted first-grade teacher,” the statement said. “Nuriel worked until recently as a youth counselor and as a caregiver at the community kindergarten. At the same time, she served as a combat soldier in the military reserves.”
