Revital Nasi, the sister of hostage Shlomi Ziv who was rescued in this morning’s operation in Gaza, expresses her gratitude to the family of the officer killed in the operation.
“We are so sorry and just want to say thank you,” she says tearfully in a direct address to the family of Chief Inspector Arnon Zmora, a Yamam officer critically wounded in the operation who died of his wounds.
“We have to bring everyone home, and it can’t always be through military operations,” she says on Channel 12, echoing the hostage families’ calls for a deal with Hamas.
US President Joe Biden announced last week what he described as an Israeli proposal for a hostage-ceasefire deal. Hamas has not yet formally responded to the proposal, but officials in the terror group have reiterated their insistence that any agreement must guarantee an end to the war, a demand Israel has repeatedly ruled out.
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.
