May their memory be blessed: The funeral of Israel Hayom editorial photographer Yaniv Zohar (54), his wife and two daughters, takes place today (Tuesday) in Rishon LeZion. During the funeral, a 'Color Red' alarm sounded.
The family was murdered in the deadly surprise attack on Kibbutz Nahal Oz. Yaniv and Yasmin's son survived because he went for a morning jog and when the attack began he took shelter in another house on the kibbutz, saving his life.
How much he loved the envelope, how much he loved
Nahal Oz, how much he fought for home. Yaniv Zohar, the dear and beloved man and talented photographer whose materials were broadcast anywhere in the world, was murdered with his wife Yasmin and two daughters in Nahal Oz.
His son, who had gone for a morning jog and took shelter in another house, survived.

Yaniv was the first media person to arrive at the scene of Gilad Shalit's abduction, covering the disengagement plan extensively. He was a great friend, a devoted father, a man of heart and giving. With his moderate nature, he managed to combine competitiveness between the media and co-authority and true friendship. He was always chasing the next frame, despite the difficult scenes he filmed.
He always came to the rescue in the surrounding area he knew like the back of his hand, with the camera on his other shoulder. The editorial board of Israel Hayom says goodbye to a rare professional, an authority on photography, and wishes to share in the family's great sorrow.
