Nir Yitzhak mourns death of Oren Goldin 

"Oren was the first to leave that dark morning, even before we knew how serious the danger was outside. In November, about a month and a half, which we were hoping for a sign of life, we were informed that Oren was killed on 7/10 and his body is being held hostage."
