Before she was kidnapped, she managed to send a message to her mother from inside the safe room: "We're going to die." She and her older brother Lior hid there together, Lior was murdered. Gali was kidnapped. Her beloved dog, Moka, was also murdered.
In a letter written by her friends to her and Alma Or (who has since been released), on the occasion of Children's Day, and published in Israel Hayom, she wrote: "We have no way of describing our longing for you, the worry, anger, sadness but most of all the helplessness that you are there and we are here.
"Come back our beautiful friends, we can't imagine that they took you out of your house, the place that was supposed to be the safest. We don't want to think about what you're going through right now there in Gaza. Every minute you're gone, the longing grows, but with all the despair and worry, there's still a glimmer of hope. Hope that you will come back and reunite and that we will return to the way we used to be. We promise that we do not forget you for a moment and do everything possible to make you return as quickly as possible. Gali and Alma, we are waiting for you."
