Released hostage Arye Zalmanovich laid to rest in southern Israel kibbutz he founded
Kidnapped aged 85 from southern Israel's Kibbutz Nir Oz, Zalmanovich was known as a learned man in Israel's geography and history, and had specialized in growing wheat in extreme heat. Thirteen hostages remain in Gaza
This week, the two abducted martyrs - Aryeh (Zalman) Zalmanovich and Tamir Adar - were returned to Israeli territory. • Kibbutz Nir Oz, where Aryeh lived his entire life, accompanied him on his final journey. • "Today, after over two years, the land in Nir Oz, his home, welcomed him to itself. Now he can rest," they said.
Kibbutz residents and friends came to pay their last respects to Zalmanovich. His body was returned from Hamas captivity on Tuesday night. He was kidnapped on October 7 from his home while still alive and murdered by the terrorist organization in the Gaza Strip. He left behind 2 sons and 5 grandchildren.
