Hostage survivor Omri Miran released his first video from his new home, saying "I returned to Israel, to life, and discovered that everyone knows me. While I don't know each and every one of you, I saw you. I got glimpses of the struggle you led for me and the other hostages. A huge thank you. I have no words to describe how much I love and appreciate you for not giving up on us." He added that "during captivity, what kept me going was imagining the simplest things in life with my daughters, playing with them, taking care of them, breathing them in. Thanks to you, this became reality, I got my wife and daughters back, and we became a whole family again."
