On Saturday, in the early morning hours, Hamas terrorists infiltrated the area of Kibbutz Kfar Azza and murdered 62 community members in their homes. The terrorists wounded dozens of residents and additionally kidnapped 19 innocent civilians, including children, women, and the elderly from their secure homes. Two of the kidnapped, Alon Lulu Shamriz and Yotam Haim, were accidentally killed by our forces' fire during an escape attempt from Hamas captivity.
Five hostages still have not returned to their families: Emily Tehila Damari, Doron Steinbrecher, Keith Samuel Siegel, and Gali and Ziv Berman.
They have been living the unending nightmare in Gaza for over 230 days, fighting for their lives every single day, struggling in Hamas tunnels to return to their grieving families who haven't seen them for so long.
So much time has passed without kissing them, hugging them, feeling their warmth, or talking to them. Without knowing their condition, whether they are healthy, if they are receiving the medication they were supposed to get. The families know nothing about their loved ones' conditions.
The families of the hostages and the community of Kibbutz Kfar Aza pray every day that this never-ending nightmare will end and the hostages will return home safe and sound.
We created this website to raise awareness and seek all possible assistance to help rebuild the lives of our loved ones when they return from captivity, knowing that a long and arduous physical and psychological recovery awaits them.
Help us give our loved ones their lives back.
On the Black Saturday of October 7, 2023, a horrific and unprecedented terrorist attack began against all the communities of the Gaza Envelope, the kibbutzim, and the southern cities in general.
In the early morning hours, thousands of terrorists infiltrated from Gaza by breaching the Gaza border fence, by air, and by sea. Their goal was to conquer, murder, spread terror, and abduct innocent civilians into the Gaza Strip.
The community of Kibbutz Kfar Azza, which suffered a severe blow on that Saturday, is still bleeding and in pain. It will not be whole until all its kidnapped members, who are in Gaza, return home safely to their families.
