"Thanks to the heroes who fell during battle, my nightmare is over," the former Hamas captive wrote on Instagram after regaining her freedom.
Israel Defense Forces soldier Liri Albag, who was released on Saturday after 477 days in captivity in Gaza, took to social media on Friday for the first time since being freed.
“The people of Israel, I want to thank you again for all your support, love and help,” Albag wrote in her first Instagram post since Hamas terrorists took her hostage on Oct. 7, 2023.
“Together, we are a force,” the IDF field observer wrote. “I want to thank the soldiers of the IDF and the security services, who risked their lives and fought for us and for our country! Not a morning passes that I don’t pray for their welfare.”
