Sources of Information
- Eitan Ziv, 74, and Tami Peleg Ziv, 72, were murdered by Hamas terrorists in Kibbutz Kfar Aza on October 7. The couple were buried on October 18 in the Shfayim Cemetery, although the family has expressed interest in reburying them in the future closer to the home they loved. Eitan (born Eitan Zeldin) is survived by his daughters, Nili and Na’ama, and Tami is survived by her sons, Assif and Oz, and each had a number of grandchildren. Eitan’s daughter, Nili Zlotovsky, said that the IDF believes the couple were among the first killed in the kibbutz: “It appears that they surprised them, they got to them first, broke through the window, shot into the room. My father left the safe room, he was there with his weapon, he truly fought, fired at least a magazine. My father was killed with his weapon in his hand.”Eitan was a well-known tour guide in the Sha’ar Hanegev region, and a former officer in the elite Sayeret Matkal unit. Friends and family said he was deeply knowledgeable in the history of the region, was dedicated to telling the stories of Israel’s fallen and a true believer in sustainability and preserving the land.
