Qassam Rockets Kill. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

Dana Galkowicz:
Qassam Rocket Victim

Dana Galkowicz, 22, of Kibbutz Bror Hayil, was killed by a Qassam rocket fired at Moshav Netiv Ha'asara north of the Gaza Strip on the evening of July 14, 2005. She was a communications student enrolled in Sapir College,

Dana Galkowicz returned to her boyfriend's home in Netiv Ha'asara early that evening because she was tired. She was sitting the porch when the rocket, launched from Beit Hanoun, in the northern Gaza Strip, exploded next to her. She was killed instantly. Her friend, Amir Ragolsky, was lightly wounded. Hamas, Islamic Jihad and Fatah all claimed responsibility for the attack.

Dana was born in Kibbutz Bror Hayil about a year after her family immigrated to Israel from South America - her father, Natan, was born in Brazil and her mother, Perla, in Argentina. Dana graduated from high school in Sha'ar Hanegev and did her military service in the Border Police. After completing her military service she worked for the Jewish Agency and traveled in the U.S.

Dana met Amir about three years ago. They moved in together last year and were planning on getting married soon. Amir's mother, Pnina Ragolsky, said that they had been debating whether or not to live in Netiv Ha'asara, located directly north of the Gaza Strip, or in kibbutz Bror Hayil.

"She was charming, gentle and impressive," the secretary of Kibbutz Bror Hayil, Abraham Hirschfeld, said. Her friends said that she loved to dance, celebrated her 22nd birthday two weeks ago and in another two weeks was supposed to travel with Amir to India. "She was an amazing person, a genuine person, who had no masks," her friend Irit Rosenhak said. "She was one of the rare good-hearted people that I've met," Dana's friend Ofir Rappaport added.

Dana Galkowicz was buried at Kibbutz Bror Hayil. She is survived by her parents, Natan and Perla, her sister Sharon, 23, and her brother Orian, 18.

Dana Galkowicz was a victim of terrorist war crimes and collective punishment.
