Doron Boldes

The body of Doron Boldes from Magen Hashamron, who had been missing for nearly a week after the attack, was identified on October 11th. At first his friends and family thought that Doron was kidnapped to the Gaza Strip, but it became clear that he was murdered in the terrorist ambush by Hamas.

Doron's friends and family believed at the beginning of the week that they recognized him in one of the videos that were circulated in which hostages were seen in a car on their way to Gaza. The hope was that Doron remained alive and survived the murderous attack.

Tehila, his best friend from the Dubi farm in Ramot Menashe where Doron was the chef, worked tirelessly together with Doron's friends and family to find a clue as to his fate. Upon learning of the terrible news, she wrote: "The hardest words I have written, our beloved Doron is such a dear person to us. The comfort of thinking that you were kidnapped was probably the worst in this reality. Maybe they imagined you in the van. Maybe you really were there but not long enough to get to where you came from. We thought that you could still be rescued. And now we received the news that created this big hole for us. I've been sitting in the office for two days and I see you in front of us lighting another cigarette and telling me 'today we are a rocket'. Every event repeats this sentence of yours to say that you are ready. You were always ready. Only not this time. Our hearts are broken. Can't talk about you like you're not here."
