Former Hamas Captive Elkana Buchbut and Wife Welcome Baby Daughter
Elkana Buchbut, who was held captive by Hamas for 738 days before his release last October, and his wife Rivka have welcomed a baby daughter. The newborn is a younger sister to their first son, Ram. Buchbut shared a Psalm of thanksgiving expressing joy and gratitude for the birth. The couple announced Rivka's pregnancy in April, with Rivka reflecting on their enduring love and the challenges they have overcome since Elkana's captivity. Buchbut's release followed a difficult period for the family, who fought tirelessly for his freedom, led by Rivka and his mother, Ruhama. The birth marks a hopeful new chapter for the family after nearly two years of hardship.
