Sheba Medical Center reports that freed hostages Noga Weiss, 18, and her mother Shiri Weiss, 53, were discharged from Edmond and Lily Safra Children’s Hospital this evening.

Also discharged are five members of the Haran-Avigdori-Shoham family: Noam Avigdori, 12, and her mother Sharon Avigdori, 52, Shoshan Haran and her daughter Adi Shoham, along with Shoham’s son Naveh, 8, and daughter Yahel, 3.

In addition, 9-year-old Emily Hand, who was held in Gaza without a family member, has gone home from the hospital.

All were abducted by Hamas from Kibbutz Be’eri on October 7.
