They received some news from Israel during their captivity, including news about the murder of their relatives in the October 7 terror attack.
Many of the first group of hostages were from Kibbutz Nir Oz, where a quarter of the population of 400 was murdered or kidnapped. 11 foreign nationals workers, including 10 Thai and one Filipino, were released along with the initial group of 13.
