Returning hostage Omer Shem Tov’s aunt Liat tells Kan that “it’s an amazing morning because…”
Leading a crowd of supporters behind her in a chant, she continues: “Omer is coming home! Omer is coming home!”
“We feel that the miracle has come, we’re delighted and excited,” she says.
“I came from abroad last night to take part in this emotional day,” she says. “We’re all here hoping he comes out healthy and on his feet, just waiting to see [his parents] Shelly and Malki hugging Omer, and Omer hugging them.”
