WIZO UK adopts hostages Eitan Horn and Inbar Hayman

Eitan Horn, 38, an Argentinean-Israeli citizen, arrived in Israel as part of the Na’ale programme in 2004, chasing the footsteps of his brother Yair who had made Aliyah five years earlier, and their brother Amos who had settled in Sde Boker six months before Eitan. Their parents weren’t far behind, making the move the next year to join their sons. Eitan made Kfar Saba his home and Yair fell in love with Kibbutz Nir Oz.

Eitan was abducted with his brother Yair when he came to visit him in Nir Oz. He is an informal educator who has long worked with different youth movements and served as an emissary in Peru.

Yair was released from captivity in a hostage-prisoner exchange deal on 15 February 2025 while Eitan remains in captivity.

Inbar Hayman, 27, was kidnapped from the festival in Re’im and was seen in a video being taken by the terrorists while unconscious into Gaza. Inbar was at the festival with friends and was a festival “helper” who volunteered to help festivalgoers in need.

After being chased by two armed terrorists for three hours, one of them grabbed hold of Inbar, murdered her and kidnapped her by a  motorcycle that came out of Kibbutz Be’eri.

Inbar was a visual communications student and the partner of Alon. The two studied together at WIZO Haifa, and she was about to start her fourth year. She was a graffiti artist in Israel and around the world with a well recognized signature of her nickname “Pink.” Since the abduction, graffiti artists in Israel and around the world have set out on the streets and sprayed “Free Pink.” On 15 December 2023, her family was informed that Inbar was murdered by Hamas and her body remains in captivity in Gaza.

Inbar leaves behind her grieving parents, Yifat and Chaim, and her brother, Ido.

We at WIZOuk pray for the immediate return of Eitan, Inbar and all remaining hostages.
