Arnon Lifshitz, the son of 85-year-old Yocheved Lifshitz who was freed last night from Hamas captivity, says she was held in a room with some 60 other hostages.
“She was together with another 55-60 people in the same place. If they are all in the same situation then there is room for optimism,” he tells the Walla news site.
“She and my father were separated, he was in another place and we hope that he will also return healthy as soon as possible,” he says.
Terror groups in Gaza are holding more than 200 hostages.
