The brother of Or Levy, who is set to be released from Gaza tomorrow after 492 days in Hamas captivity, tells his three-year-old nephew Almog: “Mogi, we found Dad.”
Michael Levy’s celebratory social media post comes after Israel accepted the names of three hostages to be released tomorrow as part of an ongoing hostage-ceasefire deal with the Palestinian terror group.
Levy’s wife and Almog’s mother, Eynav, was murdered by Hamas terrorists at the Supernova music festival near Kibbutz Re’im on October 7, 2023.
His mother, Geula Levy, tells Channel 13 following the announcement of her son’s imminent release: “My heart feels like it’s about to jump out of my chest. I am very excited, especially for Or’s son Almog. Almog knows that his father will be released tomorrow. He said, “Dad is coming back” and jumped on the bed with joy.”
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.
