Sagiv Beilin Ben-Zvi, 24, from Holon, was murdered by Hamas terrorists during their attack on the Supernova music festival on October 7. Sagiv attended the festival with his close friend Roni Petrovski , who grew up on the same street as him in Holon. Both were listed as missing and feared kidnapped for almost three weeks, before their families were notified on October 25 that their remains had been identified.
They were both laid to rest on October 26 in Holon. In late October, Holon MyNet reported that Sagiv was the 10th graduate of Holon’s Kiryat Sharet High School to have been killed or taken hostage on October 7 and in the fighting in the weeks that followed. Those graduates include soldier Agam Berger , who was kidnapped from the Nahal Oz base by Hamas on October 7 and appeared in a Hamas video filmed during the abduction of Berger and her fellow soldiers.
Sagiv’s mother, Natalie said that he and Roni and their other friends had returned from their post-army trip to South America just two months before the festival, and that Sagiv was working as a bartender at a restaurant in Holon. Natalie told reporters that on the day of the attack, Sagiv and Roni left the festival at 6:30 and began making their way home. At 6:55, she said he told her that they were on their way back to Holon, but she soon lost contact with him.
Their vehicle was later found near Kibbutz Mefalsim, but it would be weeks until the two friends’ bodies were finally found. Natalie described her son .
