The family of Ohad Ben Ami, who is slated to be released from Hamas captivity in Gaza tomorrow, posts emotional footage of the moments they received the news.

“Finally, my heart will be whole,” one of his daughters writes in a post sharing a video of the family on social media.

Ben Ami, 56, was kidnapped from Kibbutz Be’eri on October 7, when thousands of Hamas terrorists rampaged southern Israeli communities, killing some 1,200 people and seizing 251 to Gaza.

His wife Raz Ben Ami was also abducted, and released as part of a week-long ceasefire in November 2023.
