Elkana Bohbot has returned home after 738 days in Hamas captivity. During his two years held hostage, Lt. Col. Tamar Aviv accompanied his family, providing support through periods of uncertainty, longing, and receiving signs of life, until the moment of his release. Bohbot described the unique bond formed, stating to Aviv, "Can you believe I had a daughter born?" and expressing disbelief at his return. Aviv, who knew everything about Bohbot while he was captive without ever meeting him, described him as having become like a brother to her. The two recently sat down for an open conversation about their special connection, which they acknowledge might be difficult for outsiders to understand.
