Watch: 9-year-old Ohad Munder, freed from Gaza, is reunited with father for 1st time
Ohad Munder, 9, is reunited with his father for the first time since he was released from the Gaza Strip yesterday.
In video released by the Schneider Medical Center, at the family’s request and with their permission, the child runs along a corridor and is swept up in his father’s arms.
Ohad was freed yesterday along with his 55-year-old mother Keren Munder, and his grandmother Ruti Munder, 78. Ruti’s husband Avraham Munder remains in Gaza.
Ohad turned nine while held in Gaza, and events were held across Israel to mark the day.
A keen solver of Rubik’s cubes, supporters created his portrait out of the puzzle while campaigning for his release. Images circulating on social media showed him solving a cube in hospital, watched by soldiers from the Israel Defense Forces.
