Last night, 36-year-old Rimon Buchstab-Kirsht, who was kidnapped with her husband Yagev from Kibbutz Nirim, was released from Hamas captivity.
Today (Wednesday), Yagev's father, who remained in Hamas captivity, shares about the inferno that Rimon went through - and the message from his son: "He wanted to tell us that he loves us.".
Oren Buchtsov, Yagev's father, Rimon's husband, was quoted in Israel Hayom: "She was with Yagev throughout the entire time of captivity. It made it easier for them. When they told her she was being released, she didn't want to go.".
""She told them: 'Either we go together or I stay here and no one gets released.' The Hamas terrorists told her: 'You have two options: either come nicely or we'll drag you on the floor.' They left her no choice. She looks much thinner than she was before she was kidnapped.".
He added: "We are very happy and excited that our daughter-in-law is back. That she is finally home. We believe that Yagev will also return soon. Everyone will return home.".

Gideon Heyman, the son of 84-year-old Ditza Heyman from Nahal Oz, who was released yesterday as part of the fifth wave and was hospitalized in Sheba, spoke today in an interview with Keren Neubach on the program "Seder Yom" on Channel 2 about his mother's condition: "She is strong and surviving, despite the difficult event she went through.".
""Mother is 84, and for 50 days she has not received any medicine or medical treatment, let alone a medic or even paracetamol. Rehabilitation will not be easy," shared son Gideon. "I don't know who held her, I don't think it's right to get into it, but she and the other elderly women who returned were held in difficult conditions. There are other injured elderly people there. An 80-year-old person cannot survive for too long without medical treatment.".
Neta Heiman, daughter of Ditza Heiman, told Israel Hayom: "It was a great joy to meet her, but at the same time she did not receive medication and the sanitary conditions were very poor. We are worried about those who remained there. In Nir Oz alone, there are 43 others who remained there, including elderly men and women, and everything must be done to ensure that they return soon, even if it means more prisoners being released and a ceasefire.
""When I met her, we hugged. We waited a long time for this moment. Too long. She didn't receive any medicine and no Red Cross representative came. Her story makes it clear how important it is to get everyone out of there at any cost because we owe it to them. These are people who were kidnapped from their homes in pajamas and barefoot. She was also in danger of death from IDF bombs. My mother is a sixth generation in Israel, she gave everything and they deserve to do everything to bring them back.".
