Jojo Rabia, a resident of Moshav Yesha in the Eshkol Regional Council, who lost his two sons, Yuval and Noam, in the October 7th massacre, revealed that his cell phone - containing the last pictures and voice recordings of his murdered children - was stolen in Tel Aviv.
“Yesterday I was in Tel Aviv with my wife and daughter,” Rabia recounted. “We finished running errands and went down to the beach. A young man passed by us and simply took my phone without me noticing. All the pictures and recordings of my sons, Yuval and Noam, who were murdered on October 7th, were on that phone. I had their final voice messages and precious photos. Losing these memories is very painful, and I’m not sure I can ever recover them. I am asking for help - this is very important to me.”
He said he only realized the theft had occurred when the earpiece connected to the device suddenly disconnected. “We went straight to file a complaint with the police. My device is a Galaxy S24 with a thick black case. We were sitting on a bench near the Dolphinarium, and the phone was beside me. When it disappeared, I realized from the earpiece that it had been stolen. In the gallery there are photos of my sons - anyone who opens it will immediately know.”
Yuval Rabia, his fiancée Noy, and his brother Noam were brutally murdered by Hamas terrorists on October 7th while trying to escape the music festival near Kibbutz Nirim. The three attempted to reach Kibbutz Nir Oz, but were gunned down by the terrorists at the entrance to the village.
