Emily Damari, who was wounded and taken hostage on October 7 and held captive for 471 days, lit the torch for the hostages. Damari said: 'I light this torch in honor of the 59 hostages still held by Hamas, and we must do everything to bring them home! And in honor of Ziv and Gali Berman, my souls, who lived with me in Kfar Aza door to door, and in Gaza floor above floor. Gali and Zivi - I promise you: we will watch pink sunsets together again! In memory of the sixty-four murdered residents of Kfar Aza, including two of my close friends Daniel Feld and Yuval Solomon of blessed memory - our hearts will never be whole without you.'
