Elena Sokolova

Elena Sokolova, aged 60, tragically lost her life in a missile strike in Bat Yam, Israel, while accompanying her granddaughter, Nastya, who was receiving treatment for blood cancer. Originally from Ukraine, Elena had come to Israel to support her daughter, Maria, and her grandchildren during this difficult time.
