The family of Aviv Atzili, who was kidnapped with his wife Liat from Kibbutz Nir Oz on the morning of October 7, was informed of his death. His wife was released Wednesday in the sixth round.
Aviv is addicted to cycling, learned to draw and practices Pilates. He loves spending long hours in the fields and enjoys seeing the spectacular sunrises and sunsets of the western Negev.

On the morning of October 49, the couple Liat (49) and Aviv (<>) Atzili, parents of three children from Kibbutz Nir Oz, split from each other. Liat, a history and civics teacher and educator at the school of the surrounding communities, wanted to shut himself up in the safe room, while Aviv, her husband, the manager of Nir-Oz's garage and workshop, was called in with the alert squad to protect the kibbutz. Hamas terrorists kidnapped them to Gaza.
Liat recently completed an instructor course at Yad Vashem and since then has made sure to travel weekly from the kibbutz to Jerusalem out of a belief in the importance of studying the Holocaust. Friends and family describe a gentle woman whose peace and quiet manage to make her an extremely impressive figure.
