The Hostages and Missing Families Forum hails the release of three hostages by Hamas, saying it “brings a ray of light” after more than 15 months of captivity in the Gaza Strip.
“Their release today brings a ray of light in the darkness, offering hope and demonstrating the triumph of the human spirit,” the forum says in a statement after captives Yarden Bibas, Keith Siegel and Ofer Calderon were freed.
