505 Days as a Gazan Hostage Couldn’t Keep Them Apart
Living Lchaim
In an incredible story of survival, resilience, and love, Eliya Cohen, who was kidnapped by Hamas and held hostage in Gaza for 505 days, is now engaged to Ziv Abud, who survived the October 7 massacre by hiding in a bomb shelter. During Eliya's captivity, Ziv was unaware she was still alive, but their reunion after such harrowing experiences is a testament to their enduring faith in God and the power of love. Their journey is a powerful narrative of Jewish strength, hope, and the miraculous overcoming of terror and trauma brought on by conflict and captivity.
