Yocheved Lifshitz, an Israeli grandmother released by Hamas militants yesterday, is a peace activist who together with her husband, Oded, helped sick Palestinians in Gaza get to hospital for years, her grandson told Reuters.
Lifshitz and her 83-year old husband, Oded, were kidnapped from their home at the Nir Oz kibbutz, close to the border with Gaza in southern Israel, the Israeli prime minister’s office said late on Monday. Oded remained captive, it added. In the video, a man carrying a long gun and wearing a bullet proof vest emblazoned with a Hamas flag escorts Lifshitz to a white ICRC van. Before entering the van, she reaches her hand out to the man and tells him “salam,” Arabic for peace.
