A clip of a sand timer then reveals the words "time is running out." "Exchange deal... freedom and life. Military pressure... death and failure” can be seen written in the end.

‘He was a true warrior’

Danino, 25, reportedly helped other Nova attendees survive the October 7 attack and escape. He was reportedly abducted by Hamas terrorists while he was doing his best to save more attendees.

“He ran away from the party, got out of hell, came back to save more people, and was kidnapped with them. He survived more than 300 days in captivity to return full of hope and faith,” Liel, his partner, said, according to The Jerusalem Post. “He excelled in everything he did.”

Danino’smother, Einav Danino, told Reshet Bet radio that her son was “a true warrior.” "Ori served in a significant position in the army, which we could not reveal," she said. "After three months in captivity, we started receiving signs of life from him almost every month. We knew that our army was doing everything for him. He was a special person, we were sure it would end differently. He was a true warrior."

Einav also revealed the moment they received the news of Danino’s death. "We were informed about it in the early hours of the morning, around four o'clock in the morning. We could not believe that this had happened. Ori served in a very important position in the army, and he loved the army with all his heart. We kept a watchful eye on him, and when we received signs of life from him, it gave us great hope that we would see him again,” she said.

Talking about her son’s actions on October 7, Einav said, "Ori met Maya and Itay Regev that evening at the party. When he realized they were in danger, he went back to save them, even though his friend tried to convince him not to go in there. Ori didn't think twice, he acted with rare courage. Unfortunately, the terrorists shot at his car, and he was kidnapped. During all this time, we hoped to see him again, but unfortunately it ended differently."
