Shock in Ramla: Beloved Hospital Employee Murdered in Targeted Ramming Attack

The community is reeling following the tragic murder of 66-year-old Susy Yiner-Sarangah, a long-time and highly respected staff member at the Shamir Medical Center. The incident occurred in Ramla on Wednesday morning when she was struck by a vehicle in what police suspect was a deliberate act by her 71-year-old former partner, Younis Yiner. Following the attack, Yiner returned to his home and took his own life. Authorities have noted that prior to this event, there were no reported complaints regarding violence between the two, making the suddenness of the act even more difficult for the family and colleagues to process.

Susy was a fixture at the Shamir Medical Center for over two decades, having recently been honored as the hospital's employee of the year for 2025. Her colleagues described her as the beating heart of the dialysis unit, an individual defined by her dedication, compassion, and endless care for both patients and her teammates. Prof. Osnat Levtzion-Korach, the director of the medical center, expressed the profound grief felt by the entire hospital staff, stating that Susy was a symbol of humanity and professionalism. The medical center has pledged to support her family and colleagues during this dark time, providing all necessary professional and emotional assistance.

The police continue to gather evidence to reconstruct the timeline of events leading up to the murder. While the investigation remains in its early stages, the incident has sparked a wider conversation about the prevalence of domestic violence. Staff at Shamir Medical Center have issued a unified cry against the violence, emphasizing that as a society, there can be no acceptance for such tragic loss of life. As the investigation moves forward, friends and family are left to mourn a woman who dedicated her life to the care of others, only to have her own life cut short by an act of senseless cruelty.
