Damari’s return to her home is a poignant reminder of the ongoing efforts to secure the release of the remaining 79 hostages and bring closure to the families still awaiting answers.
Emily Damari, a 28-year-old British-Israeli citizen and former hostage abducted during the brutal Hamas attack on October 7, has returned to her home in Kibbutz Kfar Aza, where she was taken captive.
Sharing her emotional reflections on Instagram, she wrote:

“I’m back… Today I returned to my home, to my apartment, to the oxygen I had and almost ran out. I returned to the place where my whole nightmare began 485 days ago and closed only part of the circle that I had been waiting to close for so long.
But like me, there are 79 other kidnapped people who need to close their circle and are waiting to complete the missing part.
We must not stop here. We must bring everyone back, including everyone, home. The living for rehabilitation and the murdered for burial.
I will only feel my true victory when they return.”
Damari’s return to her home is a poignant reminder of the ongoing efforts to secure the release of the remaining 79 hostages and bring closure to the families still awaiting answers.
