Freed hostages Liri Albag, Daniella Gilboa, Naama Levy and Karina Ariev make posters preparing for the arrival of their friend and comrade, Agam Berger, at the Rabin Medical Center.
The four young women write “hero,” “queen” and “we’ve been waiting for you” on the posters they use to decorate the door of Berger’s hospital room.
“Agami, it’s so great that you are home,” reads another.
