Avinathan Or

Avinathan Or has become a poignant symbol in the Israeli collective memory of the October 7 attack on Israel. In a distressing video capturing the chaos of those initial hours, Avinathan is seen alongside his girlfriend, Noa Argamani. Noa, sitting on a motorcycle towards the terrorists' strongholds, reaches out in despair and fear towards Avinathan, who is led by Gazans beside her, his hands clenched.
His mother paints a vivid picture of Avinathan as a tall, strong, intelligent, and handsome young man, endowed with a remarkable sense of humor and natural leadership. Known for his quiet presence, Avinathan isn't one to speak often, but when he does, his words are sharp, perfectly capturing the essence of any situation. His sensitivity and quick understanding of others make him exceptionally supportive, protective, and helpful.
Throughout his life, Avinathan has been deeply loved and admired by all who knew him, leaving an indelible mark on their hearts.
