Oren Stern, 49, of Netiv Ha’asara, was an engineer, surfer, devoted uncle and member of the local security squad. He and his brother had just finished building a small winery. When Hamas terrorists invaded on October 7, Oren joined his friend and neighbor Danny Vovk to defend the community. Outnumbered and outgunned, the two fought the attackers until both were killed.
