    Tamar Kotz, a founder of Kibbutz Kfar Aza, passed away—over a year and seven months after losing her son Aviv, daughter-in-law Livnat, and grandchildren Rotem, Yonatan, and Yiftach, who were murdered on October 7, 2023, by Hamas.

    JERUSALEM – Tamar Kutz, a founding member of Kibbutz Kfar Aza and mother to one of the families murdered in the October 7 Hamas attack, died Monday at her assisted living residence. She was in her 70s.

    Her son Aviv, his wife Livnat, and their three children—Rotem, 18, Yonatan, 16, and Yiftach, 14—were killed in their home that day, found huddled together in a final embrace. The massacre left 64 members of the kibbutz dead and 19 abducted.

    Tamar and her husband Benny survived by sheltering in their safe room as bullets flew through their windows. Friends say Tamar never recovered from the loss. “She suffered from heartbreak and inconsolable grief,” said a close family friend.

    A lifelong educator, Tamar taught generations of children at the kibbutz and was known for instilling a love of nature and beauty.

    I don’t think they were Palestinians, I would love to meet an innocent Palestinian. Secondly you can read Hamas in this, Pallywood at it again, the “innocent” Palestinians are relaying everything to Hamas and you can bet your bottom $ on it. Now they have food coming in, you can be sure Hamas will be right in the middle
