The three Israeli female hostages, Romi Gonen, Emily Damari, and Doron Steinbrecher, were captured during a massive attack by Hamas on October 7, 2023. They were held in captivity for over **400 days** before being released as part of a ceasefire agreement that came into effect on January 19, 2025.

They knew from the beginning that their lives are valuable to their people and their government, and they will everything for their freedom—unlike the people in the Middle East.
This highlights the difference between people in the third world and those in the first world.

What caught my attention was the video of Hamas members handing over these three hostages! The unbelievable morale of these individuals amazed me.

glad they’re finally free, but the scars of such an experience will last forever

over 400 days of captivity is unimaginable

such a long ordeal must have taken an immense toll on them. hopefully their recovery process is met with all the support they need

the fact that they were held for over 400 days shows the brutal reality of this conflict. hope they find peace after such a harrowing experience
