Family and friends of Agam Berger gathered on Thursday morning to watch and celebrate her release by Hamas in Gaza. Berger’s family released a statement expressing gratitude for her safe return after 482 days in enemy hands. They thanked the security forces and the people of Israel for their unwavering support and prayers throughout this challenging time.
The emotional reunion marked the end of a long and difficult ordeal for Agam Berger and her loved ones. The family emphasized that while they are relieved to have her back, the healing process is just beginning, and they stressed the importance of bringing all hostages home to complete the recovery.
Agam Berger was taken hostage on October 7 and her family had been actively campaigning for her release. Last May, the families of hostages taken from the same military base near the Israeli border with Gaza made the decision to release graphic footage of the abduction in hopes of raising awareness and securing the safe return of their loved ones.
The release of Agam Berger brings hope and renewed determination to the families of other hostages, as they continue to advocate for the return of all those still held captive. The community stands united in support of these families and remains committed to seeing a peaceful resolution to these distressing situations.
