From: Ashkelon
In Loving Memory of the Innocent Souls Taken Too Soon. United in peace, their light shines on in the hearts left behind. October 7, 2023, a day of sorrow, but their memories guide us toward a hopeful tomorrow.
Alexander Lobanov, 32, of Ashkelon, married and father of two, was working as a bar manager at the Nova Music Festival when the attack occurred. A Russian-Israel, witnesses testified he was seen helping people escape when he was captured. He was held captive for over 300 days before being brutally murdered just a few days ago. On Saturday, August 31, 2024, a combined IDF-ISA force located his body and returned it to Israel. Alexander left behind his wife Michal and two young children. His wife was four months pregnant when he was kidnapped and gave birth to their son while he was in captivity.
