Eli Sharabi

Eli Sharabi, aged 51 and a resident of Kibbutz Be'eri, is among those who have been missing since October 7, when Hamas terrorists attacked, killing and abducting residents of the kibbutz.

On that same day, Eli's brother Yossi Sharabi, aged 53 and also a resident of Be'eri, was witnessed being taken by Hamas on a pickup truck, along with Ofir Engel, an 18-year-old Jerusalem resident who was visiting the Sharabi family for the weekend, and a neighbor named Amit Shani, aged 16.

Text messages exchanged between Eli, his wife Lianne, and their daughters, Noiya (aged 16) and Yahel (aged 13), revealed the terrifying ordeal they went through as Hamas militants forcibly entered their home, shouting in Arabic and laughing. The terrorists callously shot the family's dog, then took them hostage in their secure room before setting their house on fire.

Initially, Eli Sharabi's family was categorized as missing, but tragically, more than a week later, the bodies of Lianne, Noiya, and Yahel were identified.

To this day, there have been no sightings or reports of Eli Sharabi in social media or in photos and videos released by Hamas. On January 16th, Eli's brother Yossi was confirmed as being killed while in captivity by Hamas.
