HOSTAGE Nimrod Cohen, turned 20 just this week while being held in Hamas captivity. Served as a soldier in the IDF Armored Corps. He was kidnapped on the morning of Oct 7 from his tank on the border near kibbutz Nir-Oz/Nirim with the rest of his team. Nimrod is a quiet and shy boy, he loves music and nature. In high school he joined a scouting and exploration youth group where he gained a love and appreciation for nature and the country. He is a peacemaker and has always been the voice of calm and reason for his friends and family. The Cohen family wants him back home, healthy. They want the wonderful boy they know and love returned to them.
