Alon Adar, grandson of Yaffa Adar, who was released from Gaza last night, takes the stage at the rally in Tel Aviv.
“We’re joyous with my savta [grandmother] home, but my cousin Tamir is still there,” says Alon. “Savta’s return gives hope that all will come back. But we know that we need to continue to fight this crazy thing, to come to the plaza and to tell the world the story behind each picture. Our families need you.”
Alon Adar says his 85-year-old grandmother wanted to come but the family thought it was a little too much just yet.
“She’s looking at us and proud of me and all of us.”
Roee Angrest from Kiryat Bialik, an elementary school student whose older brother, Sgt. Matan Angrest, is presumed held hostage in Gaza, cries out on stage for his big brother’s release.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
