Kobi Ohel, father of hostage Alon Ohel, addressed the sign of life from hostage Evyatar David, writing: "666 days without sleep. Without quiet. And yesterday I didn't close my eyes at all. Evyatar's video threw me straight to your heart, my Alon. To see with my own eyes what I feared so much has come true. You must get out, all the hostages must get out."
He added: "I apologize, Alon. I am sorry for every day that passes and you are not with us. We are broken. But we will not give up. Until you return."
