After the unfortunate announcement last night by Kibbutz Nir Oz of the death of kibbutz resident Tamir Adar, who was murdered during the Black Saturday events and whose body was abducted to Gaza, his mother Yael wrote a post on Facebook today (Saturday), in which she claims that the information passed on to her, and the way it was transmitted, are wrong and that in fact her son was abducted to Gaza while still alive.
"Tamir was seriously injured while defending his family and the community, in the absence of protection for the community," Adar began. "Tamir was kidnapped while still wounded and alive, and murdered in the absence of immediate medical treatment. The announcement of his murder on October 7 pierces the body and soul and diminishes the magnitude of the omission. I won't stop counting the days for myself - until we return Tamir for burial in Israeli soil. Tamir was murdered and is still there. It's over and we won't pay – we have to bring him back."
She added: "That's the omission that was. Everyone is comfortable writing - murdered on 7.10 - as if it happened at one moment that Tamir did not feel and could not be saved. Had the state functioned, Tamir would have been saved. Had the state functioned, this failure would not have happened. I will continue to count the days and hours and minutes until Tamir is brought to a proper burial that honors his personality and devotion to this world."
Tamir Adar, 38, is the granddaughter of Yaffa Adar, who was also abducted to Gaza and released in the first phase of the deal to return the hostages. He is married and has two children, aged three and a half and seven. The kibbutz's announcement announcing his death read: "He was a family man, a lover of man and nature, an avid Maccabi Tel Aviv fan and always surrounded by friends."
