Images and video are released showing Doron Asher and her two young daughters Raz, 4, and Aviv, 2, reunited with husband and father, Yoni.
In the video, released by the Schneider Children’s Hospital with the permission of the family and at their request, Yoni can be seen tightly holding his wife and children.
“Did you miss me? Did you think about daddy?” he asks the girls.
Raz tells her father that she dreamed about going home.
“Your dream came true,” Yoni says. “Soon we are going home. We are just here for the doctors to check you, and then we’re going home.”
Doron, Raz and Aviv were taken by terrorists on October 7 from the sealed room of Doron’s mother’s house in Kibbutz Nir Oz, near Gaza.
Doron’s mother, Efrat Katz, was killed in the shock assault, when terrorists invaded Israel and rampaged through communities and an outdoor music festival for hours, killing 1,200 people. Terrorists also took about 240 hostages.
Asher became a prominent figure in the organization that represents the families of the hostages.
