Arbel is the best aunt in the whole wide world, beloved by her nieces and nephews, says her sister Neta. She is a fun-loving and caring person. She has a contagious smile and no one can stay sad around her.

Arbel is a third-generation kibbutz member of Nir Oz and loves living close to nature. She enjoys walking with her puppy, Murph, in the open fields and admiring the beauty of nature. Arbel recently worked as a guide for space research and astronomy activities for all ages at the GrooveTech complex in the Eshkol Regional Council.
Arbel and her partner, Ariel Cunio, recently returned from a long trip to South and Central America, which they had been dreaming about and planning for a long time.

 

Arbel and Ariel, along with her brother Dolev, and Ariel’s brother David were taken captive from their home in Nir Oz on October 7. Arbel was released from captivity in January of 2025, during the cease fire at that time. Her brother Dolev was murdered by Hamas on October 7 and his remains discovered in June of 2024. Ariel and David are still believed to be captive.
