  "account": "Bar Asraf, a 30-year-old resident of Sha'arei Tikva, tragically passed away by suicide after shooting himself at the grave of his deceased girlfriend, Liron Barda. Barda was murdered during the Hamas' October 7 massacre at the Nova music festival. According to friends and family, Asraf had difficulty coping with Barda's death, as he had a strong bond with her, described by his sister as \"soulmates since childhood.\" On the day of his suicide, Asraf drove towards Re'im to save Barda, despite her friends and family pleading for her safety. She had been providing first aid to the wounded at the festival when she was killed. Asraf's mother, Bracha, recalled her son's deep love for Barda, who would lift him up during difficult times and support him in every way possible. Sadly, Asraf's struggles were not evident until his suicide, caught off guard by a moment of madness while alone at the grave of his beloved girlfriend. The Sha'ar Shomron Local Council expressed condolences to the Asraf family during this difficult time, wishing to provide comfort and support during their great pain.",
