Natanel Ozeri, murdered in his home while enjoying his Sabbath meal with his wife and five children, taught Torah at the Yeshiva of the Jewish Idea in Jerusalem and settled the hills around Kiryat Arbah and Hebron.
His close friend, Noam Federman, said Natanel "was a courageous man, a hero, a person who knew literature and how to write…an interesting and unusual combination with which few are endowed. He was the type of person who stood out, also as a leader. A man of Torah and a man of action."
Federman pointed out that Natanel, not only established new Jewish outposts, he interested Jewish youth in settling in them, instructed them, making sure they would study Torah, teaching them in regular classes.
Natanel was forcibly evicted from his home by a judicial order and recently spent four months in jail. Neighbors said that Netanel was arrested by the Shin Bet and the police after participating in the funeral of his friend, Elazar Leibowitz who was recently murdered in the Hebron area by Arab terrorists. The police contend that Natanel struck an officer at the funeral. Friends say that he tried to help a child who was hit by an officer.
Baruch Marzel, candidate for the Knesset on the Herut list, said that Ozeri "was one of the senior students of the late Rabbi Meir Kahane. He was a close friend of Binyamin Kahane [the late Rabbi's son who was murdered by Arabs along with his wife two years ago], a giant of Torah who knew the Bible and its commentaries. Aside from that, he was a great educator. He was a Jew who gave his life in order to settle the hills [near Hevron]. Recently, he was also active in the Herut election campaign."
