Relief for Survivors of Hamas Festival Attack
Six survivors of the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack in Israel expressed relief and solidarity with the 20 Israeli hostages released on Monday.
The survivors, currently in Boston with a traveling exhibition about the attack, welcomed the release of the hostages, which was part of a peace deal aimed at ending the two-year conflict.
The release of the 20 hostages came in exchange for freedom for about 1,700 Palestinian prisoners held by Israel.
Last month, the United Nations accused Israel of committing genocide in Gaza, with over 67,800 Palestinians killed, according to Gaza's Health Ministry.
- The release was met with cheering crowds and hugs from loved ones for both Palestinians and Israelis returning home, as reported by NPR.
