The Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced on Saturday the death of another hostage with dual citizenship, Israeli and Romanian, in the Gaza Strip. Also on Saturday, Israeli authorities announced that a 27-year-old student taken hostage by Hamas on October 7 had died in captivity, but it was not known if she was the same person.

The Embassy of Israel in Bucharest confirmed that this is Inbar Haiman, who was killed by Hamas terrorists.

Who was the young woman killed by Hamas

Only 27 years old, Inbar had Romanian citizenship and was an art student. She produced extraordinary works of street art, and the name by which she was known in Israel and the world was “Pink”, her unmistakable signature.

Inbar was kidnapped by Hamas terrorists on October 7 while at the Nova music festival, where the terrorists killed at least 360 people and took hostages. Since then, her guild mates have written her name, demanding her release, “Free Pink”.

Inbar Hayman was a volunteer at the festival, according to her friend Noam Alon, who has since tried to recreate what happened to her, writes News.ro. Inbar texted Alon about the Hamas attack, and he told him to avoid the roads, where gunmen were killing young revelers trying to escape in cars and on foot.

When Alon and Heyman’s family later posted her details on social media after losing contact with the young woman, they included a description of her tattoo and what she was wearing. People got in touch, recognizing Heyman and the distinctive pants she was wearing that day. Later, the family learned from two people who were from Inbar that she first hid under the stage with friends and then hid in the bushes. These people told the family that Hyman was found by two knife-wielding Hamas terrorists who took her outside and put her on a motorcycle.

The family and Alon later received a video posted by Hamas on Telegram showing a beaten, bleeding Inbar Hyman surrounded by four men.
