Einat and Tal Maor — the parents of Aviv Maor, the 19-year-old woman killed in a terror attack on Route 71 in northern Israel — describe Aviv as a nature lover with a deep affection for both people and animals, according to Hebrew media.
“Avivi was a child of nature, loving of both humans and animals, and had a passion for horseback riding for many years,” they say. “She cared for all the injured animals in the valley. A talented photographer, a caring and loving daughter to her parents and a devoted sister.”
“The Kibbutz Movement is mourning and deeply saddened by the murder of Aviv Maor, member of Kibbutz Ein Harod, in today’s brutal attack,” the movement reportedly says.
Maor is survived by her parents and two brothers, Nitzan and Itai. Funeral details are expected to be shared at a later time.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
