“After an unbearable 471 days, our beloved Dodo has finally returned to our arms. We want to express our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who supported and accompanied us along this journey.

“A special thank you to the people of Israel for their warm embrace, unwavering support, and the strength they gave us during our darkest moments. We also extend our gratitude to President Trump for his significant involvement and support, which meant so much to us,” the family said.

“Our heroic Dodo, who survived 471 days in Hamas captivity, begins her rehabilitation journey today. We will continue to stand with all the families and do everything in our power until all of their loved ones return home​​​​​​​​​​​​​,” they added.

Doron Steinbrecher was kidnapped by Hamas from her home in Kibbutz Kfar Aza. According to TVR Info, the young woman was born in Făgăraș. For three months, the family knew nothing about Doron’s fate.

On Sunday evening, the Israeli government released the first images of Romi Gonen, Doron Steinbrecher and Emily Damari meeting their mothers after their return from captivity by Hamas militants.
mages previously appeared on social media of the moment the three hostages were handed over by the Red Cross to IDF special forces, as well as Emily Damari during a video call with her family. Emily has a bandaged hand and appears to have missing fingers.
The three former hostages will be treated at the Safra Children’s Hospital at Sheba Medical Center in the coming days and perhaps weeks. They will be examined by special medical staff and cared for by support staff, the hospital said. The medical facility will provide them with new clothes, toiletries, beauty treatments, and specially prepared meals. The children’s hospital was chosen because it offers quiet accommodation and privacy. The ceasefire in the Gaza Strip went into effect at 11:15 a.m. Sunday after Hamas gave Israel a list of hostages to be released.
