The IDF spokesman released videos this evening (Monday) of the moving moments of Romi Gonen, Emily Damari, and Doron Steinbracher's meetings with their mothers at the absorption point in Israel.
Gonen, Damari, and Steinbracher were released from Hamas captivity yesterday, after 471 days in Hamas hell, and were handed over to the IDF, which brought them to the Reim camp - where they met their mothers for the first time.
From there they took off together in an Air Force helicopter to Tel Hashomer Hospital to receive medical treatment and meet the rest of the family members.
Emily Damari's family said that she lost two of her fingers on the day of her kidnapping on October 7th as a result of gunfire from Hamas terrorists.
