| Agam Berger’s Friends in Apartheid Israel |
The Berger family watches as Agam is handed over to the Red Cross by Hamas at the initial reception point.
Freed soldier Agam Berger embraces her parents at an IDF facility near the Gaza border after spending 482 days in Hamas captivity.
Tears of relief and joy filled the air as Agam Berger’s family and friends celebrated her long-awaited release from Hamas captivity after 482 days. Berger, a 19-year-old IDF observer from Holon, was one of five female soldiers abducted from the Nahal Oz military post during the October 7, 2023, attack.
Her mother, a devoted observer of Shabbat, had firmly stated that she would try not desecrate the holy day for her daughter’s release, nor would she allow media to take photos or videos of Agam until after Shabbat. Originally scheduled for release on Shabbat, Agam was instead freed today, resolving the dilemma and allowing her mother to welcome her home without violating religious observance.
