The family of Hamas hostage Omri Miran, 46, says it received a sign of life from him, via a hostage recently released from Gaza as part of the ceasefire deal with Hamas.

Brothers Boaz and Nadav Miran say that the returned hostage told them he had been held with Omri until July 2024, and at that time he seemed to be physically fine. The two note, however, that his situation may have since deteriorated in the seven months that have passed.

Miran was taken captive on October 7, 2023, from Kibbutz Nahal Oz, by terrorists who drove him across the border in his own car. His wife Lishay Miran was left behind with their two daughters, Roni, 2, and Alma, 6 months.
