An Israeli hostage who was held captive by Hamas in the Gaza Strip managed to escape during a bombing attack, according to his relatives. Roni Kriboy, 25, was unexpectedly released on Sunday as part of a negotiated truce between Israel and Hamas. Hamas claimed that Kriboy was freed as a gesture of appreciation towards Russia, which has been openly engaging with the group during the ongoing conflict. Israeli authorities have kept Kriboy away from the media to prioritize his physical and emotional recovery, along with other released hostages. Kriboy’s family revealed that he went missing while working at an outdoor dance party where Hamas infiltrators killed hundreds of people. Kriboy’s aunt and cousin confirmed that he was held in a building that was bombed, resulting in head wounds and the death of several Palestinian gunmen. Currently, six hostages with Russian citizenship remain in Gaza. This article is published from a syndicated feed and has not been edited by NDTV staff.
