Mohammad Alatrash

40

Mohammad Alatrash, who has been missing since the October 7th Hamas assault on southern Israel, has been confirmed two months later to be among the hostages who are being held captive by Hamas.
Mohammad Alatrash is married to two women and has 13 children, the youngest was born in 2023.
His father said, "Since the attack, we have received no information about him. Only two days ago (in December), we began to receive information that perhaps he is among the hostages. We are waiting to hear about his condition, hear his voice, and to bring him back to the family."
.
Alatrash's uncle added, "Our lives have been abnormal since Muhammad’s abduction. It is not easy for us to cope with such a difficult atmosphere, especially because we do not know if he is alive or not. We hope to receive good news. He brings so much joy to all of us. The children ask every day about their father, when he is going to come back, but we have no way to get any answers for them." Mohammad’s family and community are anxiously waiting for his safe return home

We were deeply saddened to hear the announce of the death of Master Sergeant Mohammad Alatrash.
Mohammad was kidnapped to Gaza by Hamas on October 7, 2023. He served in the IDF as a tracker in the Norther Brigade of the Gaza Division.
After seven long months of awful uncertainty, he was declared a fallen IDF soldier.

Mohammad resided in the Bedouin village of Sa'wa affiliated with the Alatrash tribe. He left behind two wives and 13 children.

Please share your condolences with his family

Dear Family of Mohammad Alatrash,

We have not forgotten you, your fate, and that of your loved ones. You are forever in our hearts. Israel is not alone. You are not alone. There are also people in Germany who stand behind you and want to encourage you. There is a reason to look forward and keep going. It is a difficult, rocky road back to life, but I am sure it can be done. Whether you are surviving hostages or have lost loved ones, we wish you comfort in your grief. We are unhappy, that Mohammad is dead. We pray for you.

Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

Isaiah 41:10

Dear Mohammad, dear family,

As the cease fire hopefully takes hold, we're thinking of you and wish with fervor that you may also return home now...

In gratitude of your sacrifice, and that peace may be advanced, as we end the tears, the pain. Enough of bloodshed for a safe, just and prospering Holy Land for all.

We, the members of the Bet Torah Congregation in Mt. Kisco New York, were saddened to learn of Mohammad's death. The Rabbis shared this about Mohammad during a Shabbat Torah service. We then sang Acheinu (אחינו):

 

Sgt. Maj. Mohammad Alatrash, was a 39-year-old Bedouin, working in the Bedouin Trackers Unit in the Gaza Division of the IDF when he was killed fighting the terrorists near Kibbutz Nahal Oz and his body taken to Gaza. Originally declared missing, Mohammad’s family members were told in December that he was taken hostage. After seven long months of uncertainty, in June 2024, the family received word of his death and he was declared a fallen IDF soldier.

 

Mohammad was a son, a husband, and a father, supporting two wives and thirteen children, including a baby one-month-old at the time of his abduction. He also was sibling to twenty-two brothers and sisters. A special man, the leader of the family.

 

Mohammad Alatrash, זכרונו לברכה, may his memory be for a blessing.

Mohammad's name was prayed today in remembrance. Act on their behalf, Lord. Take up their cause without delay, so that You fulfill through them Your verse from Isaiah: “Those redeemed by the Lord will return; they will enter Zion with singing, and everlasting joy will crown their heads. Gladness and joy will overtake them, and sorrow and sighing will flee away.”

So may it be Your will, and let us say: Amen.

Mohammad, you are gone, I know nothing of your life path but I feel deeply uncomfortable hearing the protesting positions coming from my country.  You paid for it with your life I am not able to take your place and fully understand all these issues that give rise to doubt in too many people in your fights for freedom that should not cause any protest And I regret, without knowing you, to lose you I only hope for one thing with a minimum of suffering that your family and your people. I am not a believer but there is no doubt that you will reappear through the door even greater than you already are

משפחת אל טארש היקרה,

אני מבקשת לשלוח לכם תנחומים על המוות הנורא של מוחמד. הרצח של מוחמד מסמל חוסר אנושיות וכאב נורא, מוחמד שנרצח כמוסלמי מאמין הוא הביטוי לאכזריות המפלצתית של הטרור.

אני מקווה שאתם מוצאים תמיכה ונחמה בחיק המשפחה הגדולה והחמה שלכם. מבקשת את סליחתכם על העצב שעברתם ועוברים. במחילה, ענבר ומשפחת חסון מאמסטרדם.

למשפחה של מוחמד אטרש,

שמי רני ואני תלמיד בתיכון בית ירח בכתה יא.

קראתי את השיר "הביתה" מאת רביב כנר ואני מביא ממנו את השורה- "בין כל הרעשים והבלגן ואין טעם, הכל סתם

תחזירו לי אותו עכשיו הביתה."

המילים האלה גרמו לי לחשוב קצת יותר על נקודת המבט של המשפחות בכל הסיפור הזה ולנסות ולהבין קצת יותר לעומק מה הן עוברות בכל הימים האלו, וגם לחשוב על כל הקשיים שאתם חווים בתקופה הזו.

שולח לכם כוח, ואני איתכם מרחוק

רני

מוחמד היקר,

המשפחה הגדולה שלך, הילדים שלך ששואלים עליך, כולם מחכים ומתפללים לשובך המהיר. מגיע לך מזל טוב להולדת הילד! תדע שנלחמים להחזיר אותך הביתה. מתפללת שתחגוג עם המשפחה בקרוב! תחזיק מעמד. ממני, תמר שילו, הולנד

מוחמד יקר,
אנחנו לא מכירים ובטח לא היינו נפגשים אלמלא האסון הזה. אני מייחלת שתחזור למדפחה שלך, לילדים שמחכים לך בקוצר רוחב לתינוקת שרק נולדה ובקושי הספקת לחבק.
