Former Hamas hostage Ohad Ben Ami has returned from captivity “severely malnourished and having lost a lot of body weight,” Prof. Gil Pierre from Tel Aviv’s Ichilov Hospital says in a statement.
He notes that Ben Ami is “strong spirited and inspiring, and accompanied by a strong family,” who he says will “help us in the coming stages” of the 56-year-old’s recovery.
“We’re doing everything possible to enable Ohad and his family to get through these exciting but difficult moments,” he adds.
