Freed British hostage Eli Sharabi unaware of family's death during Hamas attack
Eli Sharabi, a British man released from Hamas captivity, was unaware that his wife and daughters were killed in an attack on October 7 until after his release. He had been held hostage for 16 months. Sharabi's family, including his brother, were also victims of the attack. His wife Lianne and their daughters Noiya and Yahel died while hiding in a safe room. After his release, Sharabi appeared emaciated alongside other hostages, prompting outrage in Israel. His in-laws expressed gratitude for his return, focusing on memories of their lost family members.
