Two elderly Israeli hostages freed by Hamas on Monday have been named as 85-year-old Yocheved Lifshitz and 79-year-old Nurit Cooper.
“While I cannot put into words the relief that she is now safe, I will remain focused on securing the release of my father and all those – some 200 innocent people – who remain hostages inLifschitz, an artist and academic in London who uses a different spelling for her surname, told reporters last week that her parents were peace activists, and her father would drive to the Gaza border to take Palestinians to East Jerusalem for medical treatment.
On Monday, Hamas released a video showing the handover of Lifshitz and Cooper, with militants giving drinks and food to the dazed but composed women, and holding their hands as they are walked to Red Cross officials. Just before the video ends, Lifshitz reaches back to shake one militant’s hand.
