In a heartwarming Purim celebration, heroic former hostages Agam Berger, Daniella Gilboa, and Naama Levy joined Rabbi Asher Levi to bring joy to cancer patients at Schneider Children’s Medical Center.

20-year-old Daniella Gilboa said that in addition to learning to recite 'Shalom Aleichem' in Arabic, she and the other hostages with her would make the traditional Shabbat evening blessing over wine, even over water.

The IDF has responded by saying it is too early for the hostages to resume active duty. 'This is their time to recover.'

IDF lookout Daniela Gilboa recalls praying to God as Hamas terrorists stormed her base. 'I knew that the only thing that could save us was faith.'

She thanked the IDF and the citizens of Israel who advocated for the release of the hostages

Hamas also released five Thais on Thursday afternoon, as Jerusalem was readying to free 110 Palestinian Arab terrorists.

Liri Albag stood up to the terrorist and saved her life. Soussana called Albag 'a force of nature.'

Merav Berger had expressed concern about having to violate Shabbat to greet her daughter, Agam, upon her release, but it appears the release date has been pushed to Thursday.

'Children aged 8 and 4 were cursing 'the Jews,' Liri Albag said.

They didn’t just cover the hostage parade; they gave it legitimacy as if parading captives before the world wasn’t an affront to the very humanity Hamas so desperately wants to feign.

Hostages Karina Ariev, Daniella Gilboa, Naama Levy, and Liri Albag were freed after 477 days of captivity in Gaza.

Karina Ariev, 20, Daniella Gilboa, 20, Naama Levy, 20, and Liri Albag, 19 were abducted from the Nahal Oz base on October 7, 2023.

'The prayers and strength you sent accompanied us the entire way and helped us believe that this nightmare would eventually end.'

At Sheba Medical Center, 'they will be checked by a special medical staff and be pampered by support personnel.'

Doron Steinbrecher, Romi Gonen and Emily Damari are being taken to Ramat Gan for a medical evaluation.

Nearly a year after her release, Agam Goldstein-Almog shared an image from her time held by Hamas.

Former Hamas hostage Sapir Cohen says her faith helped her survive her ordeal.

Former hostage Aviva Siegel's husband, Keith, is still being held by Hamas a year after his abduction.

The remaining hostages include seven Americans, four of whom are presumed to be alive, according to the American Jewish Committee.
