This post includes information from several other sources than B. Efune.
Hamas: “We decided to postpone the release of the second group ofabductees until the Israeli side complies with the terms of the agreement related to the entry of the trucks and the release of the prisoners.”
Sharon Avigdori, 52, and her daughter Noam, 12 from Kibbutz Be’eri. Around ten members of their extended family are still being held hostage in Gaza, several members of their family were killed on October 7th.
Emily Hand, 9, who had been at a sleepover at her friend’s house. Earlier her father had been told she was killed, before learning she was in fact held hostage—to him, a worst case scenario.
Alma Or, 13, and sibling Noam Or, 17, from Kibbutz Be’eri. Their father, Dror Or, and cousin Liam Or, are still being held hostage in Gaza. Their mother, Yonat, was murdered by Hamas on October 7th.
Hila Rotem, 13, was released without her mother Raya Rotem, despite Hamas’s agreement not to separate children from their mothers.
Shiri Weiss, 53, and her daughter Noga, 18, from Kibbutz Be’eri. Shiri’s husband—Noga’s father, is considered missing.
Shoshan Haran, 67, and her daughter, Adi Shoham 38, and children Yahel, 3, and Naveh, 8, from Kibbutz Be’eri, who were taken hostage after their home was set on fire by Hamas terrorists. Several family members remain hostage in Gaza.
(Note: My grandchildren were praying for Yahel since she is the same age as my granddaughter. There is a young boy, Tal, who we are also praying for.)
Maya Regev, 21, who was kidnapped from the Supernova music festival. Her brother, Itai, 18, is still being held by Hamas.
Details are emerging about what the hostages endured in Hamas captivity.
Some of them survived on only rice during their last two weeks of captivity.
When they were being moved yesterday, some of the hostages feared for their lives as Palestinian crowds hurled stones and other objects at their van.
The “innocent” population wanted them dead!
Drones and missiles are still being shot toward Israel.
