The family of Arbel Yehud, a 29-year-old taken hostage from her home in Kibbutz Nir Oz, expressed their anticipation for her safe return. They eagerly await the moment they can embrace Arbel, as they celebrate the recent release of other captives Karina, Daniella, Liri, and Naama.
A senior source from the Palestinian Islamic Jihad movement (PIJ) claimed responsibility for holding Yehud captive. The source alleged that Yehud was a trained soldier in the Israeli army's space program, although there is no evidence to support this claim.
