Five murdered

From Jerusalem Post Dec. 5, 2005 22:20 Updated Dec. 5, 2005 23:19 "The stories behind the names" By DANIEL BEN-TAL .. . .

The five fatalities in the Netanya suicide bombing were identified on Monday evening ...(take a moment to reflect...)

Haim Amram, 26, from Netanya
Amram, a security guard at the Hasharon mall for several years, stopped the suicide bomber from killing many more innocent bystanders by blocking him with his body and pulling the terrorist in the direction of a wall to distance him from his target.
...Amram, who regularly worked out at the Wingate Institute, was described by friends as quiet and modest. Having completed his matriculation examinations last year, Amram intended to study psychology. In the past year, he reportedly moved in with his girlfriend, whom he intended to marry next summer.

Daniel Golani, 45, from Nahariya
. . .Golani owned three clothing stores called 'Hasderah' in Naharia, Acre and Kiryat Bialik. His sisters and parents live in Netanya, and he planned to expand his business by opening a new outlet in the shopping mall where he tragically met his death.

Nahariya . . .was subdued last night following the news that the popular shopkeeper had been killed. . ... "This is a great loss for the town, his family and friends," said a tearful (ex-mayor)Frumer. . .municipal councilor David Rosen related that Golani was well known in the town for his benevolence to those in need and trustworthiness."The whole town is in mourning," added Deputy Mayor Zion Lankri, who knew Golani well.

Golani, described as a reliable family man, is survived by his wife and three daughters.

Eliyah Rosen, 38, from Bat Hefer
Rosen, an educational psychologist and mother of three children aged 12, 9 and 5, was due to start a new job as a project manager next week. She traveled to the mall on Monday morning to buy clothes for her new job.

Rosen grew up in Ramat Aviv, graduated the Alliance high school and studied psychology at Tel Aviv University and Ben-Gurion University of the Negev. She is survived by her husband Gadi and three children.

Alexandra Zrnitzki, 65, from Netanya
Alexandra immigrated to Israel from the Ukraine in 1997. She is survived by her son, Andrei. Alexandra will be laid to rest on Tuesday at 1 p.m. at the Havatikim cemetery in Netanya.
