Cindy Flash, a 67-year-old Minnesota native fell victim to Hamas militants in her home near the Gaza border. Known for her advocacy for Palestinian rights, Cindy and her husband, Igal Flash, were brutally murdered inside their safe room in Kibbutz Kfar Aza, a once serene community now marked by the horrors of the recent massacre.

Cindy, who had migrated to Israel years ago after developing a deep love for the country, was a passionate supporter of human rights, often vocal in her opposition to military operations that disregarded the dignity of human life.

Her daughter, Keren Flash, recalls her mother’s unwavering compassion and her firm belief in the value of every individual, irrespective of their religious or ethnic background.

During the ruthless attack that claimed numerous lives in the region, Keren and her family, just a few doors down from her parents, found themselves trapped in their own safe room, rescued later by Israeli soldiers. Despite the proximity of their kibbutz to the volatile Gaza Strip, the Flash family had never felt threatened before the tragic incident that robbed them of their beloved parents.

As the devastating news of her parents’ untimely demise reached Keren, she expressed relief that their passing had been swift and relatively painless.
