Tal Shoham waves to adoring crowd at hospital

Released hostage Tal Shoham embracing his son Naveh -- who was also taken hostage on October 7, 2023, but was freed by Hamas in November 2023 -- arrives at the Rabin Medical Center in Petah Tikva, February 22, 2025 (Jamal Awad/Flash90)
As Tal Shoham arrives at Beilinson Medical Center in Petah Tikva, he stops the van transporting him from the helipad to the hospital and opens the door to wave to assembled crowds.
His son, also taken hostage on October 7, 2023, and freed during the November 2023 ceasefire, is seen beside him.
טל שוהם והבן נווה מנופפים לשלום לחברי קהילתו ממעלה צביה שהמתינו לו מחוץ למנחת בבלינסון. קהילה מדהימה שליוותה את רגעי הנחיתה בשיר ״עושה שלום במרומיו״ pic.twitter.com/dnsKbSmSHA
