Omer’s Special Request
Hundreds of residents from Gedera gathered in the streets near Omer’s home with Israeli flags to welcome him. “We missed you,” they called to him as he crossed the threshold of his home for the first time since being kidnapped by Hamas. Omer asked his family and other citizens to hold signs of support for Gai Gilboa Dalal, and Eviatar David, who were with him during their captivity over the past year, as well as for all the other hostages upon his return.
I’m Happy I Never Stopped Believing
In an emotional video from Omer’s home, the hostage survivor is seen drinking a glass of wine with his relatives and saying, “It feels great to be home; I dreamed of this moment for 516 days. Here it is, I’m happy I never stopped believing.”
Beilinson Hospital stated that the hospital will be available to them and their families, and they will continue to receive all necessary support.
