Gaza hostages

Being at home with family when Operation Rising Lion began felt like a privilege in comparison to the tunnels of Gaza, former Hamas hostage Elkana Bohbot told Maariv.

Former Gaza hostage Matan Angrest told Channel 12's 'Uvda' about his captivity, including Hamas torture, the loss of his tank crew, bonding with fellow hostage Gali Berman, and his eventual release.

Is there still time for Jewish joy in a world of hostages and war, amid dilemmas around the war’s justness, recognition of Palestinian suffering, and the desire to see Hamas dismantled? At what cost?

Held two weeks ago, the concert celebrated Ohel’s first birthday outside captivity, coming four months after his release. Tickets sold out within hours.

As US-Iran tensions rise, US President Donald Trump stated that he will “never allow the world’s number one sponsor of terror to have a nuclear weapon.”

This event was part of the Chabad-Lubavitch CTeen International Summit, an annual conference for Jewish teens from around the world. 

"They didn't let me shout Shema Yisrael in Gaza," Kalfon said. "I'll shout Shema Yisrael in New York."

Daniella Gilboa releases her powerful debut single, "Where Everything Ends," reflecting her journey from captivity to healing and hope.

An updated version of Tom Shoval’s A Letter to David was screened at the 76th Berlinale, after an “incomplete version” of the film had its world premiere last year.

Bohbot said that what helps him most during his recovery period is focusing on his book, '738 Days in Hamas Captivity.' "I'm trying to push it," he said.
