Remembering Hadas Malka
Im Tirtzu 16.06.2021
June 16, 2017, began like any other Friday with border policewoman Hadas Malka patrolling the Old City of Jerusalem with her unit.
In the evening, moments after the start of Shabbat, two Palestinian Arab terrorists open fired on Hadas' unit while a third terrorist lay waiting and stabbed Hadas to death from behind as she was engaging the other two terrorists.
Despite being surprised from behind, Hadas didn't run away, but bravely battled with the vile terrorist in order to give her unit enough time to shoot him before he could inflict more damage.
Hadas succumbed to her wounds later that evening in the hospital.
Hadas was originally drafted to the Israeli Navy but asked to be transferred to the Border Police because she felt that she could contribute more to the country as a border policewoman.
After finishing her mandatory service, she enlisted in the Border Police for another year-and-a-half in hopes of providing further protection to her country and her people.
She succeeded.
May Hadas's memory be a blessing.
