Yonatan Rapoport, a British-Israeli man, was verified to have been killed by Hamas.
On October 7, he died during the raid on Kibbutz Be’eri.
He was a devoted supporter of Manchester United, and the team’s Israeli fan organisation has now released a statement.
It states that the organisation “shares in the grief of the Rapoport family…the wonderful Rapoport family stood bravely against the inferno, but Yonatan couldn’t overcome the vile murderers” .
The statement continues, “To the entire family – the entire community embraces you and profoundly shares in your sadness. His memories may bring you blessings.
On November 11, the family was scheduled to attend the Manchester United vs. Luton Town game at Old Trafford.
