Freed hostage Liri Albag visits Hostages Square with her older sister Shay, who says that Liri saw an image of Hostages Square while in Hamas captivity.
“She saw the Saturday night rallies,” writes Shay Albag on Instagram. “It strengthened her, that’s how she knew she wasn’t forgotten.”
“She saw how people were fighting to bring her home,” writes Albag. “And today for the first time, she’s seeing it with her own eyes. She sees the square and the sighs and the people who are part of the struggle. She seems how much love was around her all the time. We have to continue doing everything we can until the final hostage.”
לירי אלבג ביקרה בכיכר החטופים בפעם הראשונה. אחותה שי מספרת שבשבי לירי ראתה את העצרות בימי שבת וכך ידעה שנלחמים כדי להחזיר אותה הביתה.
