Idit Ohel shares an image online of herself smiling with her son, Alon Ohel, who was freed from captivity in Gaza yesterday.
Idit conveys a message from her son: “I want to say thank you to the people of Israel, to everyone who was there for me, so that I could come home alive.”
Idit thanks “the prime minister, president, US president, Gal Hirsh [the government’s hostage point man], and everyone who worked to return Alon.”
