Facebook Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg shared the story of Michal Sela – an Israeli woman murdered in 2019 by her husband – on her Facebook page on Tuesday, lauding Sela's sister, Lily Ben Ami, and President Reuven Rivlin for the unique hackathon they launched to combat domestic violence.
Sela was murdered in October of 2019 by husband Eliran Malul in the presence of their eight-month-old baby and was found with multiple stab wounds after neighbors called the police. Sela met Malul while working as a social worker to help at-risk teens.
