💔💔💔 Yesterday, three Israeli men were murdered in a terrorist attack at the Allenby crossing on the border between Jordan and Israel.
The three Israelis have been named as:
🕯️Adrian Marcelo Podsmeser z”l, aged 57, a father of 4 from Ariel
🕯️Yohanan Shchori z”l, aged 61, a father of six from Ma’ale Ephraim
🕯️Yuri Birnbaum z”l, aged 65, a widowed father of three from Na’ama.
All three worked at the cargo depot of the border crossing and were shot at close range by the terrorist.
The terrorist, a Jordanian truck driver, was neutralized by a security guard.
Adrian’s son, Sebastian, a survivor of the Nova Party attack, was a good friend of Almog Saris, whose body was recovered from Rafah after being murdered by Hamas terrorists last week. Sebastian said of his father, “Dad accompanied me all of the months after the attack on 7 October. He was always there for me and always helped. He really was an amazing man. The pain is great; I still can’t believe what has happened... Dad—Papito—was a guy with a huge heart... He would make us laugh and lift everyone up.”
Yohanan worked as a manager in the cargo depot. When the war broke out in October, he was conscripted to the reserves and joined his community’s security team. It is said that he carried out “every mission he was assigned to with a sense of purpose and commitment to the security of the residents.”
Yuri worked as a forklift operator at the Allenby crossing. He had immigrated to Israel in the 90s from Russia with his wife Tovah, who died of cancer several years ago.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the attack was an act by a “despicable terrorist who murdered three of our citizens in cold blood.” He continued, “We are surrounded by a murderous ideology led by Iran… murderers want to kill all of us, without differentiating between left or right-wing views, religious or secular, Jews or non-Jews.”
We send our deepest condolences to the families of Adrian, Yohanan and Yuri. May their memories be forever blessed.
יהי זכרם ברוך
