A 4-year old American dual citizen, Avigail Edan, is one of the 17 hostages that was released. Her release marks the first time a United States citizen has been released since Hamas raided Israel on October 7th, killing over 1,000 and kidnapping hundreds.
The 17 hostages were received by the Red Cross on Sunday. They were later transferred to Israel. Their names are Avigail Idan, 4, Hagar Brodutch, 40, Ofri Brodutch, 10, Yuval Brodutch, 9, Oriya Brodutch, 4, Chen Almong Goldstein, 48, Agam Goldstein, 17, Gal Goldstein, 11, Tal Goldstein, 9, Elma Avraham, 84, Aviva Siegel, 64, Ela Elyakim, 8, Dafna Elyakim, 15, and Roni Krivoi, 35.
Four-year-old orphan Avigail Idan was taken hostage from Kibbutz Kfar Aza. Her father, Roee Idan, was a photographer.
On October 7th, he saw the terrorists enter Israel on paragliders. Once he realized what was taking place, he ran to his house and found his wife Smadar dead. His children ran outside to their father but terrorists approached and shot him. He later died of his injuries.
Two of his young children, Michael, 9, and Amalya, 6, ran back into their house and hid in a closet for 14 hours. Their sister Avigail ran to the neighbor’s house where she was taken.
Avigail spent her 4th birthday captive in Gaza.
Hagar, Ofri, Yuval and Oriya Brodutch are the neighbors that Avigail hid with. Hargar’s husband Avihai Brodutch was defending the kibbutz when his family was taken. He initially presumed they were dead. However, he found out several days later they were alive.
Chen Goldstein-Almong and her three children who were taken with her, were also captured from Kibbutz Kfar Aza. Her husband, Nadav Goldstein-Almog, was recovering from surgery following a riding accident on October 7th. Due to that, he wasn’t able to move easily.
He was killed by Hamas. Additionally, their oldest daughter, 19-year-old Yam Goldstein-Almog was also murdered on the same day in the safe room of their home.
Sisters Ela and Dafna Elyakim were taken hostage while they were visiting their father and his partner for the Simchat Torah holiday. Both their father, his partner and her son were killed at his house in Kibbutz Nahal Oz.
Elma Avraham was taken from her safe room in Kibbutz Nahal Oz. She was by herself when she was abducted. Avraham was unable to lock the door to her safe room due to it being too heavy.
Aviva Siegal and her husband Keith were taken from Kibbutz Kfar Aza. Keith, who is a U.S. citizen is believed to remain hostage in Gaza.
Roni Krivoi is a dual Israeli- Russian citizen. He was taken while he was working as a sound technician at the Supernova music rave. His release came “in response to the efforts of Russian President Vladimir Putin and in appreciation of the Russian position in support of the Palestinian cause.”
The names of the three Thai hostages that were released in this group are not yet known.
Elder Elma Avraham was taken straight via helicopter to Soroka Medical Center in Beersheba. She is said to need immediate medical attention.
This is the third group of hostages released from Gaza. It also marked the most children released in a single day. Six out of the nine children returning on Sunday are now without at least one parent.
The first group was released on Friday while the second group retuned home on Saturday.

In what ways can international leaders support efforts for a peaceful resolution to the conflict between Hamas and Israel, and prevent further kidnappings and hostage situations
Title: American Dual Citizen Among the Released Hostages as Hamas-Israel Crisis Continues
Introduction:
In the midst of an ongoing crisis between Hamas and Israel, the recent release of 17 hostages, including a 4-year-old American dual citizen, Avigail Edan, has brought a glimmer of hope amidst the chaos. Avigail’s release marks the first time a United States citizen has been freed since Hamas raided Israel, resulting in the death of over 1,000 individuals and the kidnapping of hundreds.
The Hostages and their Stories:
The hostages, who were received by the Red Cross before being transferred to Israel, include Avigail Idan, Hagar Brodutch, Ofri Brodutch, Yuval Brodutch, Oriya Brodutch, Chen Almong Goldstein, Agam Goldstein, Gal Goldstein, Tal Goldstein, Elma Avraham, Aviva Siegel, Ela Elyakim, Dafna Elyakim, and Roni Krivoi.
Avigail Idan, a 4-year-old orphan, was taken hostage from Kibbutz Kfar Aza. Her father, Roee Idan, a photographer, witnessed the terrorists infiltrating Israel and tried to protect his family. Tragically, he and Avigail’s mother were killed, leaving Avigail and her siblings to flee and seek shelter with their neighbors.
The Brodutch family, along with Hagar and her three children, Ofri, Yuval, and Oriya, were also taken hostage. Hagar’s husband, Avihai Brodutch, was defending their kibbutz during the attack and initially believed his family to be dead. Thankfully, he later discovered that they were still alive.
Chen Goldstein-Almong and her three children were captured while her husband, Nadav Goldstein-Almog, was recovering from surgery following a riding accident. Tragically, Nadav was killed, and their oldest daughter, Yam Goldstein-Almog, was also murdered on the same day.
Sisters Ela and Dafna Elyakim were taken hostage while visiting their father and his partner for the Simchat Torah holiday. Their father, his partner, and her son were killed, leaving the sisters to endure a terrifying ordeal.
Avraham was taken from her safe room in Kibbutz Nahal Oz, where she was alone and unable to lock the door due to its weight. She has been evacuated to a hospital in Israel due to her serious medical condition.
Aviva Siegel and her husband Keith were taken from Kibbutz Kfar Aza. Keith, a U.S. citizen, remains hostage in Gaza.
Roni Krivoi, a Russian-Israeli citizen working as a sound technician at an event, was also among the hostages released. His freedom was granted as a result of efforts made by Russian President Vladimir Putin to support the Palestinian cause.
Conclusion:
With the release of these 17 hostages, including Avigail Edan, there is hope for the others still held captive in Gaza. The recent development marks the third group to be released, and it is disheartening to note that many of the children returning home are now without at least one parent. The ongoing conflict between Hamas and Israel highlights the urgent need for a peaceful resolution.
