The 13 Israeli hostages freed on Friday after being abducted in the Hamas-led surprise attack last month have begun reuniting with their families, ending nearly seven weeks of uncertainty and fear over their fates in Gaza.
Yoni Asher, whose wife, Doron, and two daughters were abducted from Kibbutz Nir Oz, was reunited with them on Friday. In a video released by the Schneider children’s hospital on Saturday, Mr. Asher can be seen embracing his wife and children on a hospital bed.
“Did you miss me? Did you think about Dad?” Mr. Asher asked his daughters — Raz, 4, and Aviv, 2 — to which Doron murmurs: “All the time.”
“I dreamed that we went home,” Raz said.
“Your dream came true,” Mr. Asher said with a smile. “We’re home, we’re going to our home soon.”
The 13 Israeli hostages that were released in Friday’s exchange were part of the first group of roughly 50 expected to be freed from captivity in Gaza over a four-day cease-fire, officials on both sides have said. At least 150 Palestinian prisoners and detainees are also to be released from Israeli jails as part of the deal.
