Freed Gaza hostage Emily Damari reacted to news that one of her former terrorist captors had reportedly been killed in an IDF airstrike on Sunday.<\/p>\n
Damari, in an Instagram story, noted that the terrorist, Hazem Naim, also held Romi Gonen<\/a> and Naama Levy<\/a> captive.<\/p>\n She thanked Israel’s security forces who “never rest for a moment on behalf of all of us,” and hoped that good news, including the announcement of the return of the remaining 48 hostages, would come “sooner than expected.”<\/p>\n Damari also named hostage twins Gali and Ziv Berman<\/a> by name, hoping for their release from terror captivity. Gali was in Damari’s Kibbutz Kfar Aza home at the time of their kidnapping. Ziv was kidnapped separately. Both still remain in terror captivity in the Gaza Strip.<\/p>\n She also stated that she shares in the grief of bereaved families, noting that the Saturday death of Sergeant First Class (res.) Ariel Lubliner<\/a> marked the 900th IDF soldier to have fallen since Hamas began their October 7 massacre.<\/p>\n
