The "Ayana" boutique carpentry workshop in Kibbutz Be'eri, established by Yonat Orr, who was murdered in the October 7th Hamas attack, was completely destroyed in a large fire that broke out on Sunday evening. The workshop, which was Orr's life's work, had resumed operations after the massacre and became a symbol of rehabilitation and renewal for the kibbutz.

Yonat Orr was killed in her home in Be'eri during the Hamas assault on October 7, 2023. Her husband, Dror Orr, was also killed, and his body was abducted to Gaza and later returned to Israel in November 2025. Their two children, Alma and Noam, were also kidnapped to Gaza and released after 50 days in captivity.

Following the attack, Orr's friends and the workshop's employees decided to continue her legacy and reopen the business. Five firefighting teams, assisted by volunteers from the kibbutz's firefighting unit, were dispatched to the scene and worked to control the flames. The fire department reported that the fire was brought under control and that no one was found trapped inside the structure. The circumstances of the fire's ignition are currently unknown and will be investigated by a fire investigator from the Israel Fire and Rescue Services.
