Survivors of the Hamas captivity have marked the three-year anniversary of the October 7th massacre with poignant social media posts reflecting on their experiences and the loss of loved ones. Eli Sharabi, whose wife Lian and daughters Noya and Yahil were murdered on October 7th, and whose brother Yossi was abducted and killed in Gaza after 100 days, shared "My life changed three years ago." Sharabi is scheduled to host the national memorial ceremony later today.
Itay Regev, who was abducted from the Nova music festival, recounted the rapid descent into terror. "Within minutes we understood this was something else entirely," he wrote. "I found myself facing terrorists, not knowing if I would ever see my family again." Regev described the profound loss of freedom and the constant fear during his 54 days in captivity, stating, "I am planning my life assuming this is the end. In that moment, I didn't think I would return home." His family, including his parents, younger brother Guy, and Miah, were his sole motivation to survive.
Sasha Trofimov, who was abducted from Kibbutz Nir Oz, posted a picture of massacre victims from the kibbutz and expressed longing for his father, who was murdered that day. Other survivors, Agam Almog Goldstein and Elkana Buhbut, also shared content commemorating the massacre.
