Ohad Ben-Ami was abducted from Kibbutz Be’eri on October 7 2023 alongside Sharabi, whose British-born wife Lianne and their two teenage daughters were killed on October 7. His kidnapped brother, Yossi Sharabi, died in captivity. Like Levy, Sharabi reportedly only discovered that his family had been murdered after he returned to Israel, having expressed his excitement to see them again during the latest Hamas-organised handover ceremony.
