Two Canadians killed by Hamas gunmen while attending a music festival in southern Israel over the weekend are being remembered as generous, kind and those who brought love to the world.
Friends and family have confirmed 22-year-old Ben Mizrachi from Vancouver and former Montreal resident Alexandre Look, who recently celebrated his 33rd birthday, were two of the hundreds killed when gunman swarmed the music event on Saturday.
Look's friend, Lior Horovitz, described him as a “once-in-a-lifetime person” who became more like family during their five-year friendship. Mizrachi and Look are among the at least 1,800 people killed in the Israel-Palestinian war set off Saturday as Hamas militants moved into Israel. The music festival was attended by thousands of people in the desert near Gaza and was one of many areas gunmen focused on during the initial attack.
"He was full of joy, had a smile for everyone and was always there to help. Ben was a friend to everyone and was so proud of his service in the ." Shaken said Mizrachi was about to start university in Israel after serving in the country's defence forces. In Montreal on Tuesday, Look was on the minds of some who gathered for a solidarity rally in front of the building housing the Israeli consulate.
