The fourth wave of the corona is escalating, and in the last day alone it has claimed the lives of 17 people, in addition to seven other people who died from the disease in the day before it.

In total, as of this morning, 6,559 people have died from the corona virus in Israel since the outbreak of the plague.



One of those who lost their lives is Yitzhak Gileadov, a 59-year-old successful businessman who divided his life between Russia and Israel.

Three weeks ago he contracted the Delta virus, and within two weeks his condition deteriorated and he died exactly on his birthday.



His niece, Stella Weinstein, is a member of the Ashdod City Council and the general manager of the right-wing party, says he was like her father. "He raised me from the day I was born," she said. He apparently contracted the virus during a flight, although he was careful to wear a mask.

In the video: The stories of the dead from Corona: "I lost the most precious person in the world" (Walla system!)

Following his death, she posted a video on Weinstein calling on the public to get vaccinated.

"What's sad is that I know a lot of people like that, who are not vaccinated, who think they will get through it easily. I know a lot of people like that, and that's not true. It's a serious disease that kills and when a deterioration starts you never know how it will end," she said.

"Here, I was left shattered. I am a very strong person, but now I am shattered, I have lost the most precious person in the world to me. My appeal to those who are not vaccinated - think of your relatives as well."

"We are sad that we did not manage to say goodbye to her"

At the Hillel Yaffe Hospital in Hadera, a resident of the city, Shulamit "Sala" Hoover, also died yesterday from Corona, and next month she was about to celebrate her 95th birthday. She left behind two daughters and a son, ten grandchildren and 20 great-grandchildren. In the city she was known as the owner of the "Hoover Wallets" store on Hanasi Street, which she later transferred to the management of her daughter, Atalia Barnea. Her funeral took place last night in the city's new cemetery.



Hoover was born in 1926 in Danzig. In 1939 she traveled with her mother and sister to Eretz Israel on an illegal immigrant ship but was deported by the British for five years in exile on the island of Mauritius. There she also met her husband, and they finally immigrated in 1945 and settled in Hadera. 25 years ago she was widowed.



Routine tests at the "President's House" nursing home revealed that she had been infected by her Filipino caregiver who had been infected in Corona before her.

The young caregiver recovered, but Shulamit Hoover was hospitalized about two weeks ago and her condition deteriorated.

Yesterday morning she was conscious, and the doctors reported to the family that her condition had improved, and that she had eaten and drank and was not breathing.

At noon, however, there was another deterioration and within about half an hour they were forced to determine her death.

"It's all giving."

"This disease is deceptive. It happened in minutes. The doctors told us it was typical," she told Walla! Her daughter Atalia Barnea, 73, is also a native of Hadera and a resident of the city. "She died in a good return but we are sad that we did not manage to say goodbye to her, because all this time we did not enter her because of the risk, and the granddaughters who entered protected she could not identify."



"She did not deserve to die like this, without us being able to go in ourselves and tell her how much we love her," she added. She fought the disease and we who knew she had suffered health damage and that she would no longer get out of it. We wanted to tell her 'enough, let go'. Despite the closures and isolations in the nursing home, we did not actually talk to her about the corona at all, because no one close was dead and we did not want to just worry about her. " That is all giving. We will miss her gefilte fish. "



The son-in-law of Hoover, a 72-year-old veteran physical education teacher, Yaakov and Latuch, also a native and resident of Hadera, also called on the public to get vaccinated.

"My message - the corona is not a joke. I sent to all the students in my classes: 'Get vaccinated and take care of yourself because you are not only endangering yourself but others as well.'"

Joseph was convicted at the age of 101

Yosef Ibrahim died this week after contracting the disease, on the night between Sunday and Monday at the Galilee Medical Center in Nahariya, and he is 101. Recently he was bedridden at home and his raw daughter would take care of him, but his family and doctors did not even know he was ill.

It was only when she felt he was having trouble breathing on Tuesday that she called her brother Munir, and they called for an MDA intensive care unit that took him to the hospital. Resuscitation attempts - but after a short period of time the doctors were forced to determine his death.

"Educated to love the other and serve the country."

Ibrahim left an 80-year-old wife, and he was the father of 14 children - nine sons and five daughters - as well as 48 grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren.

All his life he worked in agriculture - in the past he grew tobacco and the dried leaves were sold to Dovek, but after the branch collapsed he planted olive trees on his land.

At the same time, he also worked outside: when they established the Bar-Lev line, he went there to build the fortifications to bring a livelihood home, and over the years he also worked in the port of Haifa, in Solel Boneh, and in the Strauss factories and more.



"Dad was born in the village of Samia in 1920. He was religious from a young age, believed in human honesty, and had a strong faith in God," he tells Walla!

The son Munir, 53, a veteran patrol officer who recently retired after a long service at the Nahariya station.

"He educated us to love the other and serve the country. He was very proud of the large and blessed family he raised with his mother."
