Footage has emerged of the 85-year-old hostage Yocheved Lifshitz shaking hands with one of her Hamas captors. She is heard saying “shalom”, a Hebrew greeting meaning “peace”, after being released back to her family. Ms Lifshitz was released alongside 79-year-old Nurit Cooper on Monday night (23 October). Their husbands, who are 83 and 84 respectively, remain captive. Hamas seized more than 200 people, including Israelis and dual nationals, during an assault on southern Israel on October 7.
