Park renamed in honor of murdered IDF soldier
Plainview’s Phipps Lane Park was renamed in honor of Captain Omer Neutra during a ceremony on Sunday, September 20. Omer, a former Plainview resident, was a member of the Israel Defense Forces who was murdered during the October 7, 2023, attack by Hamas terrorists. Neutra was one of the 1,139 people killed during the attack and lost his life during a battle in the vicinity of Nir Oz, a small kibbutz located near Gaza in Southern Israel that was one of the communities most severely impacted by the Hamas terrorist invasion. His senseless murder sent shockwaves of devastation throughout the world and the Plainview community where he grew up and established deep and lasting familial roots. As of today, Omer Neutra’s body was still being held hostage by Hamas terrorists, further
exacerbating the pain and suffering inflicted upon his family members and loved ones as they continue to grieve. “Phipps Lane Park is where Omer played growing up, my own children played Little League baseball and basketball, and countless other families have made their own indelible memories,” Nassau County Legislator Deputy Minority Leader Arnold W. Drucker (D – Plainview) said. “It was so uplifting to witness the spirit and sense of community that brought so many people out on this beautiful day in support of the Neutra family, but it was just as heart-wrenching to witness and hear the agony of Omer’s childhood friends along with his amazing parents, Ronen and Orna, and Omer’s brother, Daniel, who expressed their unimaginable loss in such an impactful way.”
