The family of Ofir Tzarfati, 27, of Kiryat Ata, was informed on Thursday that he was murdered by Hamas terrorists in the Gaza Strip.
Ofir was at the music festival near Rei’m on October 7th. All contact with him was lost and he was declared missing. Three weeks later, his family was informed that he had been abducted to Gaza.
His family members were relieved that he was abducted rather than murdered but sadly, they were now informed Hamas had abducted and murdered him. Apparently, he was seriously injured before being abducted.
The details of his death and how he was identified have not been published.
Ofir was an electrical engineering student at Ariel University. In 2019 he was featured on COLlive.com putting on Tefillin in Guatemala with photographer Sholem Srugo, who was doing Merkos Shlichus there at the time. “Ofir was one of the happiest people I’ve ever met,” said Srugo. “We had the chance to farbreng with him and he put on Tefillin many times. I am heartbroken by the terrible news that he is no longer with us.”
So sad
ברוך דיין האמת.
Now words to all this , no words
Why must another Yid perish?
Ad masai?!
