On October 7, Hamas militants launched 3,000 rockets into Israel and assaulted areas bordering the Gaza Strip, killing at least 1,200 Israelis, as well as foreign nationals from 23 countries. Among the foreign citizens who were killed were Aguirre, Paul Vincent Castelvi, 42, Loreta Villarin Alacre, 49, and Grace Prodigo Cabrera, 42.  Aguirre lived in Israel for six years and was recently married. Her husband resides in Binmaley.

 Deputy mayor of Jerusalem Fleur Hassan-Nahoum told X (former Twitter) that Aguirre had been caring for an elderly woman identified as "Nira" in the Kibbutz Kfar Aza, which is situated between Netivot and Sderot about 5 kilometer east of Gaza.

The deputy mayor wrote that although Angeline had the opportunity to escape from the Hamas assault.

 " She showed unbelievable humanity and loyalty by remaining Nira’s side during the violence, resulting in both of them being brutally murdered by Hamas." Hassan-Nahoum lauded Angeline's sacrifice as an "unimaginable honor in the face of evil."

The Departments of Hostile Action Casualties and Rehabilitation at the National Insurance Institute of Israel are responsible for family member benefits for victims of hostile acts.
“All benefits granted are under the Law on Compensation for Victim of Hostile Act (1970). In order for The National Insurance Institute to recognize a person as a victim of hostilities, the person must meet the conditions dictated by law,” the Victims of Hostile Act says.

Submission of a Claim for Compensation

In order to receive the compensation and benefits, one must submit a claim for compensation for the family of a victim of a Hostile Act.
