Petah Tikva Mayor Rami Greenberg mourned the loss, saying, “We bow our heads and mourn the murder of four of the city’s residents… dear, beloved people, whose only sin was wanting to live a peaceful and safe life.” He pledged municipal support to Shmilovitz’s family, adding, “We send a big hug to the family to strengthen them at this difficult time.”

Shmilovitz is survived by three granddaughters and four great-grandchildren.

The Holocaust Survivors’ Rights Authority honored her memory, stating, “In their death, they command us to walk the paths of hope and resurrection… as women who illuminated their surroundings.” The Authority said its staff remains available to assist Shmilovitz’s and fellow victim Bella’s relatives.
