Amir Zini, father of Nirel who was murdered on October 7 and whose body has not been found, told N12 that discovery of tooth remains in Kfar Aza underscores the state's obligation to locate all fallen soldiers and civilians. 'If they don't do everything, it's like abandoning a hostage,' he said.
Amir Zini, whose son Nirel was killed on October 7 and whose body has not been recovered, made the comments to N12 on Wednesday evening. The discovery of tooth remains in Kfar Aza, a kibbutz that was one of the hardest hit during the Hamas attack, prompted his statement. Zini emphasized that the obligation to recover fallen soldiers extends to both soldiers and civilians. 'He will not be abandoned, and we will not abandon any son, brother, or family,' he said. The Zioneer has covered similar statements from families of fallen soldiers, though no direct connection to this case is established.
