Danielle Waldman

Danielle Waldman, the 24-year-old daughter of tech veteran Eyal Waldman, is among hundreds of innocent civilians who have been murdered in Israel as the Hamas terror group launched a deadly attack on a music festival in the south of the country early Saturday.

Danielle and her boyfriend Noam attended the Supernova music festival, an all-night rave near Kibbutz Re’im on the Gaza border, which was attacked by the Hamas on Saturday and left more than 260 people dead, turning a peaceful party into a massacre. Others were injured or abducted by the terror group.

Palo Alto, California-born Danielle attended the music festival together with her boyfriend of six years who was also murdered, as they celebrated love and life, her father told CNN.

“I had hoped and thought that they may have been taken hostages to Gaza and that we would see them again,” Eyal Waldman said.

He recalled that by using the tracking feature on her phone and Apple watch, her family was able to find the location where his youngest daughter was killed. Waldman said that looked like her car was surrounded and attacked by Hamas.

“I have seen exactly how she was murdered from two directions by at least three to five people that had attacked it,” he said. “From the shells that we have found, there were at least three guns that were shooting at the car.”

Talking about his daughter, Waldman described her as a person that was loved by each and everyone that met her.

“She’s done nothing wrong and nothing bad to anyone,” he said.

Waldman shared that the last time he spoke with his daughter Danielle she told him that she had decided with her boyfriend that they would get married soon. The two had just moved into a new apartment several weeks before they were murdered with a dog they share, and they had refurnished and redecorated it.

“We will bury them together,” he sobbed.

In 1999, Waldman set up Mellanox, a maker of high-speed servers and storage-switching solutions that allow massive amounts of data to move within and between computers. US gaming and computer graphics giant Nvidia bought Mellanox for $7 billion in 2020.
