Hostage survivor Arbel Yahud, whose boyfriend Ariel Cunio is expected to be released from captivity in Gaza in the coming days as part of the war-ending agreement, wrote on his poster at Ben Gurion Airport: "My love, we did it! Soon you'll be home, my beloved." Arbel added: "More than two years have passed since we were brutally torn from each other. The hope that we will meet again, the thought of our embrace at the end of this horror movie is what has sustained and continues to sustain me every moment of every day." Ariel and the remaining hostages have been held in Gaza for 735 days.
