The Tragic Story
In a distressing confirmation by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), Shlomo Mansour, the oldest hostage taken by Hamas, was killed during the October 7 attack. The IDF’s intelligence efforts have confirmed Shlomo was unlawfully murdered as his body was taken by Hamas terrorists to Gaza.
Community Tribute
Kibbutz Kissufim, once home to Shlomo Mansour, has expressed their profound grief in a statement, describing their loss as a significant emotional blow to their community. “Shlomo was more than just a member – he was the heart of our Kibbutz, a father, grandfather, and a true friend. His absence leaves our community in sorrow,” they reflected.
Legacy and Family Impact
A founding member of Kibbutz Kissufim, Mansour’s incredible life journey saw him triumph over horrifying conditions. Originally surviving Adahan Serjun’s pogroms, he emigrated to be among the Israeli pioneers, who would shape Kibbutzi culture. Shlomo’s nurturing spirit extended to his five children and 12 grandchildren—a lineage of legacy now shadowed by such a tragic end.
