Ofir Liebstein, the head of the Sha'ar HaNegev Regional Council, was killed on October 7 while fighting against Hamas terrorists who infiltrated the area. Liebstein, 50, was a member of the Kfar Aza community's emergency response team and took up his weapon to defend the kibbutz when the attack began.
He had dedicated years to strengthening the communities in the Gaza border region, creating jobs, and building a future for an area that lived under constant security threats. On that fateful day, he found himself fighting to protect the very home he had worked to build.
The tragedy for the Liebstein family was compounded by the death of his son, Nitzan, on the same day. For the residents of Sha'ar HaNegev, Liebstein was more than just a council head; he was a neighbor, a friend, and a man deeply connected to the region he served. He fell defending his home during the most difficult morning in the history of the Gaza envelope.
