An Israeli family are celebrating after being reunited with their aunt following 50 days of captivity at the hands of Hamas.
Over the past few days, three groups of hostages have been released by Hamas during its four-day truce with Israel. Under the deal, 50 Israeli hostages - women and children - are to be freed by Hamas in exchange for 150 Palestinian prisoners. One of these hostages was Adina Moshe.
On October 7, the 72-year-old was kidnapped by Hamas from her Israeli home and her husband was shot dead.
Since then, her family has been campaigning tirelessly for her freedom and after a long seven weeks, they have finally been reunited.
Joining AM on Monday, her nephew Eyal Nouri said Moshe is "well" but "weak" and receiving medical care at an Israeli hospital.
"We were celebrating, shouting out of joy. So much happiness after seven weeks of not knowing what was going on and we were so happy to learn that she was among the first wave of hostages that were released," Nouri told co-host Melissa Chan-Green.
"Everybody [was] hugging her."
A video of Moshe's release has been circulating, showing the woman slapping away the hand of a Hamas militant as she walks free.
"This is the spirit of my aunt," Nouri said.
While she was in captivity, believed to be held in Hamas' underground network, Moshe did not know whether her son was alive. Nouri said the joy on her face was amazing when she realised her son and his family survived.
But Moshe is slowly learning the tragedy of what has unfolded in Israel and her community.
There have been roughly 1200 Israelis and 14,800 Palestinians killed during the seven weeks of fighting. There are also roughly 200 people believed to be still being held hostage by Hamas.
Nouri said he and other families of hostages want the Israel government's first objective to be releasing all of the hostages.
"We are united all together until everybody [is] released."
