Sharone Luton speaks to the media after her mother Yocheved Lifshitz was freed from Hamas captivity, at Ichilov hospital in Tel Aviv on October 24, 2023 (Carrie Keller-Lynn/Times of Israel)
“She is a ray of light,” says Sharone Luton as her mother, freed hostage Yocheved Lifshitz, 85, finishes talking to the media at Ichilov hospital.
But “our hearts are with the over 200 hostages still there,” she says.
“Our heart is with my dad and all the captives that are still there,” Luton adds.
She is happy to hear her mother was well treated, but stresses that she does “not know” how other hostages are being treated because her mom only saw about 25 fellow captives.
