Age: 42
From: Tel Aviv
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.
Hanan Yablonka, 42, of Tel Aviv, was murdered while attending the Nova Music Festival at Kibbutz Re'im on October 7 and his body abducted to Gaza. He was attending the festival with three friends who were also murdered in the attack. His body was located in the Gaza Strip and returned to Israel on Thursday night (23 May 2024). After being forensically identified, Israeli authorities notified the family on Friday. He is survived by his parents and divorced and with two kids, ages 12 and 9, he’s someone who loves sports and music, said his mother, Vered Yablonka. Yablonka had eaten dinner with his parents on Friday night, October 6, and then gone out with friends for another friend’s birthday. They headed north at first, and then turned around at Hadera and decided to go to the outdoor trance rave in the Negev.
