With released hostages Evyatar David and Guy Gilboa-Dalal leaving Rabin Medical Center today after a stay of nearly two weeks, their families post on social media the routes they will take this afternoon on their way home.
“Don’t miss the chance to be part of this emotional moment!” says David’s family.
They invite the public to join the convoy of cars and onlookers that will welcome David home to the city of Kfar Saba, gathering on Weizmann Street at the corner of Tel Hai Street, leading to the parking lot of the family’s apartment building.
Gilboa-Dalal’s family invites the public to welcome him home with Israeli flags at several intersections along Route 40, heading toward their home in Alfei Menashe.
The pair of friends, kidnapped by Hamas terrorists from the Nova desert rave on October 2, 2023, were sometimes held together in captivity in Gaza.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
