Thirteen Israeli hostages have been released by Hamas after being held captive for nearly seven weeks. Among the hostages are four children and several elderly women. His release coincides with the release of 39 Palestinian prisoners by Israel, as part of a deal that has halted fighting between the two sides.
Among the freed hostages is Adina Moshe, a 72-year-old woman who was abducted from her home in Kibbutz Nir Oz. She has four children and several grandchildren, and enjoys cooking, gardening and reading. Also released is Margalit Berta Mozes, a 77-year-old cancer survivor who suffers from diabetes and fibromyalgia. She is an avid lover of nature, especially birds, and enjoys hiking despite her poor health.
Daniel Aloni, a 45-year-old woman, and her five-year-old daughter Amelia were also among the freed hostages. The pair were abducted while visiting Daniel’s sister, Sharon Aloni-Cunio, who remains in captivity along with her three-year-old twins and their father.
Ruth Munder, 78, Keren Monder, 54, and Ohad Monder, nine, were also released. Ohad was kidnapped along with his mother while visiting his grandmother Ruth, who was also captured. Ruth Munder enjoys knitting, painting and sewing, while Keren Munder is a teacher and children’s volleyball coach.
Doron Katz-Asher, 34, and her daughters Aviv, two, and Raz, four, were also released. The trio was kidnapped while visiting relatives in Kibbutz Nir Oz. Ms. Katz-Asher works as an accountant.
