Family of Yehudit Weiss: It was too late for her, it’s not too late for rest of hostages

The family of Yehudit Weiss, the hostage whose body was recovered in Gaza, begs officials to bring home the rest of the captives being held by terror groups in the Strip.

“It’s important for us to say that we fought, we battled in every possible way to bring mom, grandma Yehudit home,” says her daughter-in-law Zemer. “For us, it is too late, but it is important for us to support all the families of the hostages, and to tell the world, bring them home now, so that for them it is not too late, like it was for us.”

Her son Omer says they had “hope, a lot of hope, that she would come home. We wished, we hoped, and sadly for us, it is too late.”

Her children say they only just completed the 30-day mourning period for their father, Shmulik, who was murdered on October 7 by Hamas, when they got the news about their mother.
