An Israeli citizen, 43-year-old Ofir Dali, died on October 18 in Thailand's Krabi province after crashing a rented motorcycle. Dali, a resident of the settlement of Eli, had recently overcome a two-year battle with cancer, and his trip to Southeast Asia with a friend was intended as a celebration of life. He is survived by his wife, Shira, and six children. Dali was a family man, a graduate of Ariel University, and had worked for Mobileye. He served in the elite Maglan unit and was a reservist in the commando brigade. Krabi province is known for its scenic beauty but also poses risks to tourists due to challenging roads and rental vehicle issues, according to police investigating the incident. The Israeli consul in Bangkok, the Foreign Ministry, and ZAKA volunteers are assisting with the repatriation of his body. Dali's death adds to a series of fatal incidents involving Israelis in Thailand this year, including a young man in August, Ofer Dahan in March, two individuals in February (Noam Mirson and Shai Hananya Pinto), and Yuval Cohen in January.
