Hanna Katzir, an Israeli woman who was reported to have been killed by Hamas, has been found alive among the 13 hostages released on Friday.
On Oct. 7, Katzir, an elderly woman, was abducted from her home in the Kibbutz Nir Oz and her husband, Rami, was killed.
Palestinian Islamic Jihad, a Gaza militant group with connections to Hamas, had declared Katzir dead on its Telegram channel.
A spokesperson for the Hostages and Missing Families Forum described Katzir as a cancer survivor who has three children and six grandchildren.
From Newsmax:
The release of Katzir was part of a larger group of hostages, with the names of 12 others unveiled on Friday. Among them are Adina Moshe, 72, and Yaffa Adar, 85, who were both kidnapped from Kibbutz Nir Oz. Adar was seen in a widely shared video being driven into Gaza on a golf cart. One of her kidnapped grandchildren remains in captivity.
