The family of Liri Albag say that the freed hostage “showed superpowers and survived hell,” and pledge to continue to fight for the return of the remaining captives.

“Liri showed superpowers and survived hell, and we are so proud of her for her steadfastness in the impossible conditions,” the family says.

The Albags say that their hearts are with the families of Arbel Yehud, Agam Berger, the Bibas family and all the other hostages who are still waiting to return home.

“Our thoughts are with them, even in these moments of joy, and we are determined to fight until the last of the hostages returns home,” the family says.
