Freed hostage Yosef-Haim Ohana was discharged from Sheba Medical Center today, the hospital says.
Ohana was released from two years of Hamas captivity in Gaza last Monday, after he was kidnapped from the Nova music festival on October 7, 2023, and held hostage in Gaza.
In a statement, the hospital says Ohana will continue his outpatient treatment at the Returning to Life Clinic designed for hostages and their immediate families.
