Einav Zangauker, whose son Matan is held hostage in Gaza, says that she received proof that her son is still alive in Gaza from Edan Alexander, who was freed from captivity this week.

Speaking at a “Shishi Tarbut” event, Zangauker says, “Matan is still alive. We received this information due to the return of Edan Alexander.”

Zangauker says that the good news may be for nothing if her son is eventually killed by the “military pressure implemented since Edan returned.”
