Alon Ohel is a talented musician. He was kidnapped by Hamas on October 7, 2023

One of the thousands of heartbreaking stories is the story of Alon Ohel, our nephew.
.
 Alon went to The Nova festival near kibbutz Re’im with four of his best friends. They arrived to the party at 5:30, when an hour later the rockets started firing. They returned to their car and started driving north, but were stopped by policemens who blocked the road because of shooting at vehicles. Alon and his friends were forced to turn back and reached the shelter at the entrance of Kibbutz Re’im where they were staying  a total of 27 young men and women (including a pregnant woman).  At 8:08 we received the last message from him that they are fine and they are in the shelter.  A few minutes later, Hamas terrorists arrived to the shelter and threw several stun grenades into it.  The late Avner Shapira was able to push some of them out, until one grenade exploded inside the shelter and hit many. In the chaos, Hamas terrorists entered the shelter, kidnapped Alon and two other young men. After that, the terrorists entered the shelter and fired to make sure the others were dead.
.
 After a few hours, a citizen arrived looking for survivors and removed 7 wounded from the shelter.  He evacuated them to the hospital.  Alon’s cell phone apparently fell while he was kidnapped and arrived at the Soroka hospital with one of the survivors. Alon’s sister kept calling him the whole time, and around 14:00  we were told that the cell phone had arrived with the wounded people to Soroka. Alon’s father and uncle went there hoping to find Alon as well,  But he was not there.
.
 The remaining 17 young men and women were no longer alive.  Two of Alon’s best friends were murdered in the shootout and two were wounded, but survived.  The family received the information about the abduction from his friends who survived.  Two weeks later, a video also arrived showing Alon being dragged on the road and loaded into a van.
.
 Since then, we have not received any new information about him.

I present another batch of photographs taken on November 23 at the huge volunteer center in Tel Aviv, which continues to operate. Among those with whom I had the opportunity to communicate were some people I had met more than once over the course of a month and a half, as well as new ones, including those who came from Canada and America.

P.S.

From the editor of belisrael

 The story about the work of the volunteer center at Expo for more than 1.5 months took a lot of time and effort. If someone will send more pictures, they will be also published on the site.

 But now it’s time to move on and start implementing a huge project that will take a year and a half, and most likely even more, and it requires the participation of many people, specialists from different fields: translators, journalists, webmasters and designers, programmers, organizers… and also considerable amount of finance.

 I plan to collect video stories of 3-5 minutes in Hebrew from relatives, acquaintances, neighbors and colleagues, about each of the approximately 1,400 who were killed at the hands of hamas terrorists on October 7th, with subtitles in Russian and English. Probably, some stories will be in Russian or English, then they will be accompanied with subtitles in the two other languages.

 Presumably, each episode will contain 20 stories and several songs in Hebrew, English and Russian, dedicated to the Israeli, and Jewish tragedy, the new Holocaust of the 21st century.

At the same time, a story will be told about those who were freed from the terrorist captivity, as well as about those who continue to be in it, as always reminded by relatives, friends and a huge number of Israelis who come daily to the “Square of the Kidnapped” in Tel Aviv next to the Museum of Fine Arts.

 I’m waiting for responses to the proposal, and above all, from those who are interested to take part in the project.

Also in Russian and Hebrew

We’ll win together!
