‘Grandma is here, healthy and beautiful. Thank you people of Israel’: Yaffa Adar reunites with family

The family of Yaffa Adar, 85, who was freed yesterday after 49 days held hostage in Gaza, post photos of her reunion with family members.

“Grandma is here, healthy and beautiful. Thank you people of Israel,” writes Adriana Adar.

“Thank you to everyone who supported us. It’s the first drop in the sea, we are waiting for you Tamir Adar, waiting for everyone! All of them! Right now, right now!!” she writes.

Yaffa’s grandson Tamir was also taken hostage to Gaza on October 7, but was not released.

Yaffa was kidnapped from Kibbutz Nir Oz. Video surfaced of Adar being driven in a golf cart in Gaza, wrapped in a pink-flowered blanket and looking stoic — in an image that became one of the symbols of the October 7 catastrophe, the terrorists’ readiness to harm anyone regardless of age and the courage of the victims.
