Guy Illouz

Thank you to the dedicatation of "Count until they come back ๐ŸŽ—๏ธ๐ŸŽ—๏ธ๐ŸŽ—๏ธ" for getting to know more about about Guy.

Guy, 26 years old at the time of his death, lived and breathed music and the guitar was an inseparable part of him. He worked as a soundman and stage manager with the band "HaYehudim", Mati Caspi and Shalom Hanoch.

His family and friends say that Guy was talented, charming, unusually sweet, smart and sensitive. Someone you fall in love with immediately, with a huge contagious smile that ignited great happiness.

Guy escaped from the Nova party, managed to hide, talk to his father and tell him that he loved him. Shortly afterwards he was captured, shot and kidnapped to Gaza while wounded and unalived in captivity.

Mia Regev, who was also kidnapped from the Nova party (and released in the first deal), said that in the last conversation before his death, Guy said that his mother was the strongest woman in the world and that as soon as he returned home he would hug her and never leave her again.

Guyโ€™s parents are grieving his death and missing the farewell to his body. They hope for closure, for a headstone to be placed in his memory and for the opportunity to visit his grave.

*At the request of the families of the fallen, "Z"L" was not written after their names.

May Guyโ€™s memory be a blessing. ๐Ÿ™โœจ๐Ÿ•ฏ๏ธโค๏ธโ€๐Ÿฉน๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ

For each hostage still in captivity, together let us remember them, breathe with them, send light, love, healing and air to the darkness in which they find themselves, and echo the immense urgency of their return.

The goal of "Count until they come back ๐ŸŽ—๏ธ๐ŸŽ—๏ธ๐ŸŽ—๏ธ" is to flood the networks with constant awareness of the abductees and the immediate need to return them all - the living to their families and the dead to a proper burial.

To facilitate this goal, every day a picture of the number of days of captivity and the faces of the abductees is uploaded to the "Count until they come back ๐ŸŽ—๏ธ๐ŸŽ—๏ธ๐ŸŽ—๏ธ" whatsapp group.

All members of the group are invited to update their profile pictures - on WhatsApp, Status, Facebook, Stories, Instagram and in every possible space, so that our faces are now the faces of the 59 abductees who are still in hell.

May we courageously envision a future that is liberated from a cycle of hatred, traumatic loss and deep heart ache. One that embodies the wisdom of Buckminster Fuller, โ€œYou never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.โ€

So may it be ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ•ฏ๏ธโค๏ธโ€๐Ÿฉน๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ
