On Friday, The Hostages and Missing Persons Families Forum announced that 73-year-old Israeli-American Gadi Haggai was murdered by Hamas.
Gadi and his wife Judi Weinstein, 70, were at the Kibbutz Nir Oz when they were abducted. Nir Oz was one of the hardest hit communities during the Hamas terror attacks against Israel on October 7.
In a statement, the kibbutz said Gadi, believed to have been wounded during the onslaught, was murdered while Judi remains hostage in Gaza.
The couple was on “their regular morning walk in the fields and vineyards” when Hamas kidnapped them.
The Forum shared, “Gadi was a man full of humor who knew how to make those around him laugh.
