'Doesn't close the circle': Terror victim's sister opens up after IDF kills terrorist - interview

For Tal Morad, Tomer’s sister, his killing does not close a circle. In her eyes, the circle that began on April 7, 2022, cannot be closed as long as her brother is not here.

Four years after the murder of Tomer Morad and two others in Tel Aviv, Fathi Hazem, the father of the terrorist Raad Hazem, was killed in Jenin. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) reported that Hazem attempted to stab their soldiers and was shot dead. However, for Tal Morad, Tomer's sister, the killing does not bring closure. In a Walla interview, Tal recounted a chilling dream her mother had about Tomer's condition, adding to her grief.

The dream featured Tomer in a hospital, guarded by a figure in a white galabeya and a knitted kippah, who told Tomer that he was "in his place." After receiving news of Hazem's death, Tal expressed relief that the terrorist was no longer alive, but emphasized that it did not bring justice. She also expressed concern for the safety of IDF soldiers, fearing that such operations endanger them.

Despite the killing of one person, Tal remains convinced that it does not change the broader reality of hatred and conflict.
