At 12:30, the reconnaissance team received a call from the war room to reach point 590 (the Shab’a Farms area) and to observe the gate following news of Hezbollah demonstrations.The crew arrived at the site within a few minutes. At the same time, artillery fire was fired at nearby observations of Gladiola, Dalia and Astra, thus neutralizing the IDF observation of the Shaba Farms area. In retrospect, it turned out that these artillery attacks were diversions to abduct the soldiers. The three soldiers who were injured were taken prisoner and taken to the Lebanese side of the border. The abductors, disguised as UN soldiers, traveled in vehicles carrying the UN emblem in order to carry out the act of abuse and abduction Since the abduction, the Red Cross or any other organization has not been allowed to visit the detainees and check their condition. For three and a half years, it was not known what had happened to Omer, Benny and Adi, what their condition was, where they were being hurt and where they were located, and the families embarked on a stubborn struggle to uncover every bit of information about them.

In the late hours of that day, all hope in the Su’ad family ended when a picture of the three coffins being carried on the plane on their way to Israel was shown on the television screen. After tests, it became clear that the three soldiers – Omar, Benny and Adi – were killed on the day of their abduction on 7 October 2000. Omar was twenty-seven and a half when he died. With the landing of the dead bodies in Israel, the families reunited with their loved ones. In a heartrending play, Omar’s son called out: “Here is my father, Father is back, look – my father is coming.” That evening, a state ceremony was held at the airport in the presence of the families, the President of Israel, the Prime Minister and the Minister of Defense.

Omer served as a field storm driver in the brigade and fulfilled his duties with great responsibility and dedication. Omar did not hesitate to volunteer for operational activities, both during the day and in the wee hours of the night, and performed them in the best possible manner, to emulate and honor. Omar is at the forefront of the fighters who defend the borders of the State of Israel. Omar stood out for his good personality, the humanity he showed to those around him, and the true friendship he forged with his friends. We say goodbye to Omer with a painful heart and bitter weeping. The way of his fall is the path of heroes, for which our state exists. In my name and in the name of the commanders and soldiers of the unit, I support you and express my sympathy in your mourning. We will preserve Omar’s memory forever. Of blessed memory”.
