(A7) Inbar Segev Vigder, Shahar Goldman, Revital Bronstein and Ilya Nozadze (42) from Georgia, were murdered on Tuesday in the shooting attack in on the light rail on Jerusalem Boulevard in Jaffa.

Three others were murdered, but have not yet been named. Three others were injured very severely, and were evacuated to the hospitals.

Shahar Goldman, 30 years old from Lod, is survived by her husband Tai, her sisters Astar, Dikla and Merav, and her parents Avraham and Ruth Goldman.

Inbar Segev Wigdar, 33 years old from Jaffa. Survived by a baby of only nine months, Ari, whom she protected during the attack and who survived. Inbar was a fitness trainer and physical education teacher. Just yesterday, after the IDF entered Lebanon, she posted a prayer for the peace of the soldiers on Instagram.

Revital Bronstein, 24 years old from Bat Yam. Revital, the only daughter of her mother Liora, was an outstanding student for a master’s degree in computer science. In high school she won prestigious awards for her work in the fields of computers and AI. She was also a gifted comic artist.

Nadiya Sokalenko, 40 years old, from Tel Aviv, was a stylist. She is survived by her husband Vadim and a daughter, six year old Maya. She also has a mother who is living in Moldova and a sister in Denmark.

Ilya Nozadza, a 42-year-old Georgian citizen, was also murdered in the attack. He was hit by three bullets and was taken to Ichilov Hospital in critical condition, where he was later pronounced dead. Ilya, a truck driver, lived in the city of Khashuri in Georgia with his wife and two children, aged 17 and 14. The Georgian Embassy in Israel is flying his body for burial in his country.

The IDF spokesman announced this morning that a female soldier was seriously injured in the attack. “She was taken to a hospital for medical treatment and her family has been informed,” he added. In the Jaffa attack, as mentioned, seven people were murdered, and 15 others were injured to varying degrees.

Eric Marchenkov (22), who was wounded by two bullets in his back on the light rail, said that “the mother hugged her baby. This was the most powerful picture of a mother hugging her baby covered in blood. It is a miracle that the baby is alive from all the bullets that were flying there. The mother was hit, but he survived.”

The attack was perpetrated by Mohammed Ragev and Hassin Tamimi, two illegal residents from Hebron. A preliminary investigation revealed that the terrorists, one of whom was armed with a standard M-16 weapon and the other with a knife, attacked passengers on the light rail and opened fire on them. They later shot at a group of people on the street. The injured were evacuated by MDA teams to Wolfson hospitals in Holon and Ichilov in Tel Aviv.
