Kochi Caldeon, the mother of released hostage Ofer Calderon, reacts to the scenes of her son being released.
“We are watching and very emotional,” she tells Channel 12 news while watching the live images of his handover. “Finally we see him.”
“He looks more or less OK, a bit thin, a bit pale, he probably has not seen the sun for a long time,” she says.
“We are waiting to give him a very big hug.”
