In Kfar Aza, a herding village that was turned into a gigantic abattoir on Saturday, Cindy Flash, 67, and Igal Flash, 66, were slaughtered in a safe room of their home.
The couple’s adult daughter Keren Flash revealed to CNN on Thursday that her mother texted her on Saturday to say, “They made it into the safe room.” That was the final communication from them, according to Keren.
Her parents’ whereabouts were unclear for days, which sparked rumours that they might have been taken as prisoners to Gaza. However, Keren learned the heartbreaking news that both her mother and father had passed away just before her CNN interview.
The daughter expressed relief at finding out that her parents “apparently died instantly, so at least it was quick and relatively painless.” Cindy, a native of St. Paul, Minnesota, moved to Israel decades ago after falling in love with it while on a vacation, according to an article in USA Today.
She settled in Kfar Azar after marrying an Israeli named Igal. Kfar Azar had roughly 800 residents prior to the atrocity on Saturday, in which entire families were murdered at gunpoint. gunfire and burned and beheaded babies. Keren claimed that her mother, whom she adoredly referred to as being “all heart and soul,” was a staunch advocate for Palestinian rights.
