The day after the wife of Nir Oz resident Aviv Azili, Liat, returned from captivity, his family was informed that he had been murdered. He was 49 years old. He was mourned by the members of the kibbutz: “Aviv was a pillar of the Nir Oz community, managing the agricultural equipment garage in the kibbutz. He was a painter, a cyclist, a lover of people and land. May his memory be blessed.”
