Emilia Alony, 5, who was released with her mother Danielle yesterday as part of a temporary cease-fire deal between Hamas and Israel, is reunited with her grandma.
Danielle and Emilia were held hostage in the Gaza Strip for 49 days.
In photos released by the Schneider Children’s Hospital, Emilia can be seen in a tight embrace with her grandmother.
The two were visiting Danielle’s sister and her family at Kibbutz Nir Oz on October 7 when they were kidnapped during the onslaught by the Hamas terror group.
