After 491 days in Hamas captivity, Eli Sharabi was freed in a prisoner exchange but returned to Israel to devastating news—his wife and two daughters were killed in the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack. Sharabi, unaware of their fate, had expressed joy about reuniting with them. His brother, Yossi, also died in captivity. Sharabi was among 3 hostages freed, with Israel releasing 183 Palestinian prisoners under a ceasefire deal. His family described his frail condition, saying, “The light is gone from his eyes.” The war in Gaza has killed over 47,000 Palestinians, with thousands more imprisoned.
