Sapir Shitrit, 32, from Sderot, gave birth to her second daughter this past weekend at Assuta Ashdod Hospital. The joyous event came about a year and a half after she lost her sister, First Sgt. Mor Shakuri, who fell on October 7 while fighting on the roof of the Sderot police station. Nearly a year later, in September 2024, their father, Sgt. Maj. Roni Shakuri, was murdered in a terrorist shooting attack near the Tarqumiya checkpoint.<\/p>\n

“A granddaughter born of heroism”<\/strong>
\nAyala Shakuri, Sapir\u2019s mother and the newborn\u2019s grandmother, shared her emotions, saying this was a moment of light amid the darkness for the family: \u201cThis moment holds everything \u2013 pain, longing, and tears of joy. This granddaughter was born of heroism, born of love.\u201d
\nShe emphasized, \u201cShe is our personal victory over everything that was taken from us. I choose to focus on what we have, not on what we\u2019ve lost. It\u2019s no clich\u00e9 \u2013 life truly is stronger than anything.\u201d<\/p>\n

“Exceptional strength”<\/strong>
\nDr. Erez Barenboim, CEO of Assuta Ashdod Hospital, who was present at the emotional moment, said: \u201cChildbirth is always a moment of hope \u2013 but this time, it was also one of exceptional strength.\u201d
\nHe added, \u201cSapir chose light in the midst of darkness and brought new life into the world to carry on the legacy of two heroes. For us, it was a moment we will never forget.\u201d<\/p>\n
