Inbar Haiman, 27, student who volunteered at rave declared dead
Haifa resident was taken captive by a Hamas terrorist on a motorcycle at the Supernova rave on October 7
The death of Inbar Haiman, 27, was confirmed on December 16, 2023. It is not clear from the announcement from the Hostage Families Forum whether she died on October 7 or was killed in captivity. This is the story of her capture and its aftermath:
Inbar Haiman, 27, a student of visual communications from Haifa, has been missing since October 7, when Hamas terrorists attacked the Supernova desert rave, killing at least 360 of the partygoers and abducting dozens.
Haiman was volunteering at the festival, according to her boyfriend, Noam Alon, who has since pieced together what probably happened.
She texted Alon about the Hamas onslaught and he told her to avoid the roads, where gunmen were slaughtering the young party-goers as they attempted to flee in cars and on foot.
When Alon and Haiman’s family later posted her details on social media, having lost touch with her, they included a description of her tattoos and what she was wearing. People got in touch, recognizing Haiman and the distinctive leggings she was wearing that day.
Eventually, the family heard from two people who had been with Haiman, telling them Haiman first hid under a stage with friends and then took cover under a bush.
They told the family that Haiman was found by a pair of Hamas terrorists armed with knives, who hauled her out and placed her on a motorbike.
Eventually, the family and Alon received a video posted by Hamas on Telegram, showing Haiman looking bloody and beaten, surrounded by four men.
