In October of 2015, during a month of stabbing attacks and acts of terrorism,
Avraham Hasno was returning home from Otniel where he worked at a local high school.
Terrorists blocked the highway with burning tires and pelted his car with rocks, causing
him to stop on the side of the road and exit his vehicle. He was then targeted and hit
by a truck and fatally wounded.
Residents of Kiryat Arba described Hasno as a God-fearing social activist who was loved
by all. “With a perpetual smile and zest for life he led Torah classes throughout the
year and especially during the summer and holidays, all free of charge and on a
voluntary basis,” they recalled.
Avraham Hasno was buried in Kiryat Arba. He is survived by his wife Ruth, seven children
and nine grandchildren.
