Israel Recovers Bodies of Six Hostages from Gaza Strip
Eshkol region Kibbutz Nir Oz announced: Mondar, 79 years old, who was abducted along with his wife Ruti, his daughter Keren, and his grandson Ohad, was murdered in captivity. His grandson Ohad was released in a previous hostage deal in November. "He endured months of physical and mental torture; he was a warm man who loved to sing. We will remember his smile, his love for his family, and his kibbutz."
Today, Kibbutz Nir Oz sorrowfully announced the murder of Avraham Mondar in Hamas captivity in Gaza. "Kibbutz Nir Oz announces with heavy heart the murder of Avraham Mondar in captivity in Gaza after suffering months of physical and mental torture," the statement read. "Avraham was 79 years old, a member of Kibbutz Nir Oz, worked at the Nirlat factory and was a warm person who loved to sing. Avraham was abducted together with his wife Ruti, daughter Keren, and his only grandson, nine-year-old Ohad, who were released in a deal."
"His son, Roi Mondar, was murdered in the October 7th massacre," the kibbutz statement added. "We will always remember Mondar, with his clear voice, warm smile, and endless love for his family and kibbutz. May his memory be blessed."
Avraham Mondar, a man known for his warm nature and love for singing, was a cherished member of Kibbutz Nir Oz. Born in 1945, he lived a life deeply connected to his family and community. He worked at the Nirlat factory, contributing to the kibbutz's prosperity and well-being. His voice, often heard singing, brought joy to those around him.
On a fateful day, Avraham, along with his wife Ruti, daughter Keren, and grandson Ohad, was abducted by Hamas from their home in Nir Oz. While Ruti, Keren, and Ohad were released in a previous exchange, Avraham remained in captivity, enduring months of torture. Despite the immense suffering, his spirit remained unbroken, remembered now in his community's hearts.
Avraham's legacy lives on through the stories of his kindness, his love for his family, and his dedication to his kibbutz. His tragic death is a profound loss, not only to his family but to all who knew him. The kibbutz will remember him for his unwavering spirit, his warm smile, and the songs he left behind.
May his memory be a blessing.
