Grandmother breaks out as she sees relatives she assumed were dead

Yafa Adar, who was kidnapped from Nir Oz kibbutz, was one of the hostages who was released early in the exchange deal. A video of her being taken to Gaza in a small car by armed men became very popular on social media.

Her granddaughter, Adva Ardar, says the 85-year-old coming home was like a dream coming true.

“We waited for 50 days just to hug her and smell her,” she tells BBC Radio 4’s Today show.

”Even after all the hard times, she is still the same funny, positive, and strong woman we know”.

You see her after everything she’s been through, and she’s still the funniest, most hopeful, and strongest woman we’ve ever known.

Adva’s grandmother is really strong and healthy. She’s been talking and asking about what’s been happening in the community.

Yafa thought all her family had died in Nir Oz. But then her grandmother saw them and realized they were actually alive. It was a very emotional moment. Yafa’s oldest grandson, Tamir, who is 38 years old and works as a farmer, is one of the people still being kept as a hostage. He has two young daughters.
