Rom secured the nature party in Berei and was kidnapped from there. He was declared missing and later his family received a message that he had been kidnapped. He was last seen in the Reim area on Saturday at 2:00 p.m. Mark Mizrahi who was with him at the party said that Rom defended the team with great courage. "When a group of unarmed Arabs approached us, Rom told us all to get together to collect stones, sticks and everything that came by and smuggle them out. And it helped, they really left us," said Mark and added: "He tried to move two bodies of girls so they wouldn't be kidnapped to Gaza , until an RPG missile was fired at us and everyone just ran away everywhere. Since then, no trace of him has disappeared."
