Freed Israeli hostage returns home to tragic news of family deaths

Eli Sharabi was released after 491 days as a hostage of Hamas, part of a recent prisoner exchange. He returned to Israel unaware that his wife and two daughters had been killed in the October 7 attack. Sharabi's brother, Yossi, also died in captivity, with his body still in Gaza. The family expressed shock at Eli's frail appearance upon his return. The exchange involved Israel releasing 183 Palestinian prisoners. Since the ceasefire began on January 19, 21 hostages and 566 Palestinian prisoners have been freed, with more expected in the coming weeks.
