Eli Sharabi, recently released after 500 days in Hamas captivity, faced the tragic reality of his family's death during his abduction on October 7, 2023. He had given himself up to save his wife and daughters, only to discover that they were killed that same day at their home in Kibbutz Be'eri. Sharabi was among several hostages released as part of a cease-fire involving exchanges for Palestinian prisoners. His return was a painful reunion filled with sorrow, knowing the loss of his loved ones.
During the Hamas-led assault on Oct. 7, 2023, a dozen gunmen had burst into Mr. Sharabi's house in the border community of Kibbutz Be'eri, where he had been hiding in a safe room with his wife and two teenage daughters.
Mr. Sharabi's mother and three remaining siblings rejoiced over his return on Feb. 8, part of a cease-fire involving exchanges of hostages for Palestinian prisoners.
