The sisters were abducted by Hamas on October 7th from Kibbutz Nir Oz. They were released on November 24th as part of a temporary ceasefire deal brokered by Qatar and the United States. During their captivity, the sisters shared a room and maintained hope of seeing their family again.

Upon their return, Liel and Mali expressed their gratitude for the efforts to secure their release and spoke of the difficult conditions they endured. They are now reunited with their parents and siblings and are undergoing medical and psychological evaluation. The family has requested privacy during this time as they begin to heal and process their experience.
