Holocaust survivor Olga Weisberg, 91, from Rehovot, collapsed and died on Saturday, shortly after leaving hospital, where she was treated for serious wounds sustained in an Iranian missile attack during June's 12-day war.
According MyRehovot, she underwent multiple surgeries in the wake of the missile assault and was recently released from the hospital to recover further at home. However, on Saturday, her health took a turn for the worse and she was declared dead when paramedica arrived.
It has not been confirmed whether her death was a result of injuries sustained in the missile attack or due to an unrelated medical issue.
Her funeral was held yesterday evening, with the family conducting a private ceremony at Gorodiski Cemetery in Rehovot.
Weisberg reportedly left behind a husband, who is also a Holocaust survivor, as well as a daughter, grandson and great-grandson.
It comes after an 85-year-old resident of the same city, who was moderately wounded in a missile attack during the war with Tehran, succumbed to his wounds last month.
The victim, who sustained injuries when a residential building in Rehovot in took a direct hit on June 15, died at the Kaplan Medical Center.
And, also last month, the Philippine Embassy in Israel announced that Leah Mosquera, a Filipina care workers living in Israel, died on of wounds sustained in the same attack.
