Israeli man returns home after 491 days in captivity to find family dead

Eli Sharabi was freed after 491 days in Hamas captivity but returned to devastating news. His wife and daughters were killed in an October 7 attack. He learned of their deaths only after arriving back in Israel. Sharabi's release was part of a prisoner exchange that included 183 Palestinian prisoners. The exchange followed an internationally brokered ceasefire agreement. Other hostages, Ohad Ben Ami and Or Levy, were also released. In South Wales, Sharabi's in-laws expressed mixed emotions upon his release. They had hoped for news of his fate during his captivity. The family home in Kibbutz Be'eri was left in disarray after the attack.
