From Hamas captivity to new life: Elkana Bohbot welcomes baby girl
Less than a year after returning from 738 days in Hamas captivity, Elkana Bohbot and his wife Rivka celebrate the birth of their daughter.
Former Gaza hostage Elkana Bohbot celebrated the birth of his daughter on August 28, 2026, sharing the joyous news on Instagram. In a heartfelt post, Bohbot and his wife Rivka displayed the newborn alongside a passage from Psalms, expressing their gratitude for the child's arrival. Bohbot, who was freed from Hamas captivity on October 13, 2025, following more than two years in Gaza's tunnels, penned a book titled "738 Days in Hamas Captivity" detailing his survival story.
Yisrael Beytenu MK Avigdor Liberman congratulated the couple on the occasion, describing it as the "real victory" in a post on X/Twitter.
