Oded Lifshitz was a resident of Kibbutz Nir Oz, a peace activist, and a beloved great-grandfather. On October 7, Hamas terrorists entered the home of Oded and his wife, Yocheved, burning it to the ground before taking them hostage to Gaza. Yocheved was released a few weeks after her abduction, while Oded’s fate remained unknown. This week, we learned of his murder, and today his body has returned to Israel for burial. May his memory be a blessing.
