80-year-old released Israeli captive took daily walks in Gaza: Report

Gadi Mozes, an 80-year-old Israeli released yesterday,  read English books and took daily walks outside during his 482 days of captivity in Gaza, Kan broadcaster reported.

Mozes was held alone throughout his captivity and kept a diary to track time, the report said.

His partner, Efrat Katz, was killed by Israeli fire during the Hamas-led 7 October attack. His family described his return as "a miracle" in a statement yesterday.

“No one in the world is happier than we are. Light has returned to our lives thanks to this life-saving deal,” they said.

“We received a miracle - our father and grandfather, Gadi, has returned to us healthy and whole after a year and four months of uncompromising struggle filled with fear, terror, despair, worry and lack of air.”
