Maksym Harkin

Maksym Harkin, 37, was abducted from the Nova music festival, which was his first festival experience. Originally from Ukraine, he moved to Israel with his family and lived in Tirat HaCarmel. Harkin was the primary provider for his mother and younger brother and had sent a touching final text message to his family saying, 'I love you' just before his kidnapping. His family has been actively advocating for his release, highlighting the emotional toll of his absence, especially on his young daughter.
