Boruch dayin haemmet.
Poor lady.
May Hashem DESTROY OUR ENEMIES!!!!!!!
BDE. Why do you presume more fatalities by saying “First”. You should put “One”
I agree with number 2 – it should be One – and it’s not nitpicking to point it out.
Read the article.
As soon as I saw the photo. TEARS. Omg.
Baruch Dayan Emet. My condolences to her family.
It’s wrong to call her a casuallty of Operation Defensive Shield . That would imply she fell only because of the operation . In reality she is a victim of rocket fire by Hamas which started prior to this war and which indeed caused it.

A clarification. The bracha in ALL Nuschaot is: Baruch Dayan HaEmet (HaEmes) or BDH.
Please get it right and don’t violate the words of Chazal.
