JERUSALEM, Israel — Tragedy struck at kibbutz Nahal Oz on Sunday when Hadar Kamah, the great-great nephew of former Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir, was killed in action. Kamah, a 24-year-old soldier serving in the reconnaissance unit Sayeret Matkal, was part of a mission to rescue the kibbutz residents after it was attacked and seized by Hamas terrorists.

The news of Kamah’s death reached Gideon Meir, Golda Meir’s grandson, who was in London at the time. Meir had been attending the launch of the film “Golda” and was unable to return home due to flight suspensions. Devastated by the tragedy and the ongoing violence in Israel, Meir expressed his longing to be with his family during this difficult time.

Hadar Kamah was the great-great grandson of Golda Meir’s older sister, Shana Kreingold. Coincidentally, on September 8, 1972, Meir had been attending Kreingold’s funeral and was unable to attend the funerals of the 11 Israeli Olympians who were murdered in Munich on the same day.

The loss of Kamah serves as a reminder of the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas. The kibbutz, a communal settlement near the border with Gaza, has been a frequent target of attacks from militants. The Israeli government has vowed to protect its citizens and take necessary action against those who threaten its security.

The death of Hadar Kamah underscores the toll that this conflict has taken on families and communities. As Israel faces continued violence and lives are lost, the desire for peace and security remains strong. The nation mourns the loss of Kamah and stands united in the face of adversity.
