It has been more than a month and a half since Hamas terrorists abducted more than 240 hostages, including babies and the elderly. As Israel and Hamas negotiate the release of some of the hostages, Mo News speaks to two family members of those currently being held in Gaza. 

They tell us about their family members, what life is like for a hostage who was released, the abductions and what the last 46 days have been like. We also speak with a survivor from the October 7th attack at the music festival, who watched several members of her family get murdered.

Interviews:

– Mosheh speaks with Effie Yahalomi. Her 49 year old brother, Ohad, and 12 year old nephew, Eitan, are being held. (02:05)

– Mosheh speaks with Rotem Cooper, whose 84 year old father, Amiram, is being held captive. His 79 year old mother, Nurit, was released after 17 days. (14:45)

– Jill speaks with Lee Sasi: She miraculously survived the Oct 7 attack. (32:20)
