A former New Jersey resident was killed in Israel after reportedly attending a party attacked by Hamas terrorists earlier this week.

Laor Abramov, 20, lived in New Jersey with his mother, a U.S. citizen, until 2022, when he moved to Israel to serve in the military, according to the New York Post.

"My heart aches on the death of our beloved Laor Abramov," a translated Facebook post from Abramov's father, David Abramov, a famous Israeli DJ, said. "Our house is open to anyone who wants to come and bring his heart and condolences. There will be no funeral. (We will have a private ceremony)."

Abramov's mother, Michal Halev, announced her son's death in a Facebook post Thursday.

Abramov also told his family he was going to a "missile shelter" and not to worry. He added that he would not "be able to speak because it's very noisy," Yael Abramov told the Post, quoting her nephew.

Yael Abramov's mother-in-law told the Post the "feeling of safeness is gone totally" in Israel, calling Hamas terrorists "Isis on steroids."

"And where is Biden?" she added. "Why aren’t the Americans taking care of their own citizens? This is the child of an American."
