Freed hostage Tal Shoham, 39, has been discharged from Beilinson Medical Center a week after his release, the hospital says.

Shoham was taken hostage by Hamas terrorists on October 7 from Kibbutz Be’eri and spent 505 days in Hamas captivity. He was released on February 22 as part of phase one of a mediated hostage release-ceasefire deal.

He was kidnapped with his wife, Adi Shoham, his daughter, Yahel, 3, and son, Naveh, 8, as well as his mother-in-law Shoshan Haran, his wife’s aunt Sharon Avigdori, and her daughter Noam, 12. They were all released on November 25, 2023.
