Tear-jerking moment freed Israeli hostages reunite with their weeping parents after hellish 477 days in Hamas captivity

THIS is the tear-jerking moment the four Israeli hostages reunited with their weeping families after finally being freed from Hamas hell in Gaza.

A heartfelt video captures the touching moment when Karina Ariev, 20, Daniela Gilboa, 20, Naama Levy, 20, and Liri Elbag, 19, rush to hug their parents, signaling the end of their long ordeal.

They were handed over to the Red Cross earlier today and taken back to safety with Israeli forces.

The four soldiers were kidnapped by Hamas terrorists on October 7, 2023, during the deadly assault on Israel’s Nahal Oz military base.

The moment of reunion was nothing short of heartbreaking.

One of them, tears streaming down her face, flung herself into her father’s arms, her body shaking as she collapsed in relief.

Loud cries of happiness and emotions running high filled the Israeli military base where the emotional reunion between the young women and their parents took place after enduring over a year of hardship.

The young women have gone through unimaginable trauma under Hamas and will now carry the scars of their 477 days under the terror group’s claws.

These brave soldiers were abducted during the harrowing attack by Hamas on the Nahal Oz military base on October 7, 2023. Following their public display in Gaza City, they were finally released to the Red Cross earlier today.

In the horrifying spectacle, masked fighters surrounded the young women as crowds watched them wave from a stage in one last cruel display before their eventual release.

Back in Israel, their parents – watching the live broadcast from a military base – sobbed, clapped and embraced as the moment they had prayed for finally came.

In Tel Aviv’s Hostages Square, hundreds of Israelis gathered, crying and cheering in unison as the images of the handover lit up a giant screen.

But posters of other hostages still in captivity served as a somber reminder that the fight isn’t over.

For these women, the agony began on that fateful October morning.

Dragged from their posts in a bloodied and brutal assault, they became propaganda pawns for Hamas.

Naama appeared in videos, her clothes drenched in blood, her injuries visible.

Daniela was injured during her abduction and forced into more propaganda footage.

Liri, just three days into her role as a surveillance soldier, became the youngest of the group to endure this hell.

Today’s release, the second of the fragile ceasefire deal, saw Hamas trade the four women for 200 Palestinian prisoners.

Last week, the first three released hostages also had an emotional reunion with their mums.

Footage released by the IDF showed Brit hostage Emily Damari, Romi Gonen, and Doron Steinbrecher hugging their mums after surviving 471 days of hellish captivity.

Touching moments followed their arrival in Israel, where their mums embraced them at an Israeli Defence Forces reception centre.

Emily beamed with joy as she hugged her mum and said: “I survived for you my life.”

Another image showed Emily, bandaged but defiant, waving her injured hand in a powerful gesture of resilience.

Israeli hostage Romi was seen crying as she excitedly asked: “Where is my mum,” before tightly hugging her.

The pair broke down in tears in each other’s arms.

Doron Steinbrecher smiled as she finally got together with her mum.

What happened on October 7?

ON OCTOBER 7, 2023, Hamas launched a brutal surprise attack on Israel, marking one of the darkest days in the nation’s history.

Terrorists stormed across the border from Gaza, killing over 1,200 people — most of them civilians — and kidnapping 250 others, including women, children, and the elderly.

The coordinated assault saw heavily armed fighters infiltrate Israeli towns, kibbutzim, and military bases, unleashing indiscriminate violence.

Innocent families were slaughtered in their homes, and graphic footage of the atrocities spread across social media, leaving the world in shock.

And as well as attacking people in their homes, they stormed the Nova music peace festival – killing at least 364 people there alone.

The massacre triggered a swift and massive retaliatory response from Israel, escalating into a full-scale war.

The attack not only reignited long-standing tensions in the region but also left deep scars on both sides of the conflict, setting the stage for the 15 months of devastation that followed.
