The former hostages Segev Kalfon, Eitan Mor, Evyatar David, and Guy Gilboa-Dalal returned to their homes on Sunday. “I’ve been waiting for this day for more than two years. I can’t believe it’s finally here,” Gilboa-Dalal declared outside his home in Alfei Menashe.
“I’m incredibly excited to see everyone, it’s unbelievable. Being with my family – that’s what I want to do the moment I get home. I still can’t grasp all of this, it’s just crazy.”
Evyatar David returned to his home in Kfar Saba, where his father, Avishai, thanked the crowd that came to greet him. “He’s very emotional and full of love for everyone,” he said.

“It’s very hard, but he’s recovering. He’s a strong kid. Thank you so much to everyone – we love you, everyone who was here. It’s just so good to see this, after the darkness in the tunnel, he and Guy came out into the light.”
In a statement made by the families at Beilinson Hospital, Tzvika Mor, Eitan’s father, announced that the Returning Hostages Ward at the hospital is closing on Sunday.
“We pray that there will never again be a Returning Hostages Ward in the State of Israel,” he said, adding, “and that we will be the last parents to have their children abducted and forced to live in this hell for such a long time.”
Ilan Dalal, Guy’s father, added: “After two difficult years in captivity with the Hamas monsters, they are finally coming home. We are happy and grateful to the people of Israel who stood with us through every moment until their release. For us, it’s like a new birth.”
