Elisia z"l was murdered at the "Nova" music festival in Kibbutz Re'im by Hamas terrorists. Elisia was a well-known fitness trainer, a beloved and respected figure in Karmiel and the area, and to a large extent also a symbol of coexistence in the Galilee: she trained in gyms all over the north and established a devoted and loyal audience of exercisers, including in settlements in the Arab sector. She left behind two teenage children and a loving family living in Karmiel. She was murdered with her partner, the late Steven Makarchenko.
