The current situation in the territory has been described by relatives of the hostages as heartbreaking and desperate. Rebecca González, whose husband Elkaná Bohbot was captured in an attack carried out by Hamas more than 570 days ago, shared her anguish with the media. Through leaked videos, she has had a glimpse of her partner's current situation.
Rebecca highlighted the resilience and defensive capability developed by Israel over time, due to the constant threats it faces. In an emotional message, she expressed her longing to see her husband again and encouraged him to keep the faith, reminding him that he is always in her thoughts.
The support of a soldier in the area was crucial in determining the exact location of the hostages, which led to a possible rescue. The repercussions of the attack continue to be felt in the community, with the memorial monument of the Nova Festival receiving thousands of visitors daily and honoring the victims with photographs and Israeli flags.
Publimetro had the opportunity to speak with survivors and family members affected by the attack, including Alejandra López, a young Colombian who was present at the event. Alejandra described the tragedy she witnessed, where she unfortunately lost her best friend and another close person. She questioned the absence of response from the Israeli army during the attack on October 7.
The attack carried out by Hamas in 2023 claimed the lives of more than 1,200 people, leaving 59 individuals as hostages in Gaza. Among the victims are 364 Israeli civilians who were shot while enjoying a concert at the Nova Festival. The fight for the release of the hostages continues, with a message of hope and resilience that remains alive amid the tragedy.
