She was a promising young woman who loved the beach. "While trying to flee after being hit by a grenade, Shani attempted to direct [dozens of panicked people in the crowd] to drive in the right direction, away from Hamas." Her family received numerous messages from survivors stating that it was Shani who had shown them the correct path thereby saving their lives. The events of October 7, While she was hiding behind an ambulance, Hamas threw grenades at her, causing her to burn to death. When a necklace containing the DNA of both Shani and another woman was discovered, Israeli authorities exhumed the other victim's grave and found that the two charred bodies had been buried together. This information was reported by 'The Jewish Chronicle,' which spoke directly to her family after the war. On November 23, the family was informed that Shani's remains had been found. "Shani would have turned 26 on November 29. We concluded our 'Shiva' (mourning ritual) on her birthday."
