The mother and her 18-year-old daughter, who has Hungarian citizenship, were held hostage for 50 days, while the Hungarian-Israeli father has been listed as missing ever since.
On Saturday, 18-year-old Noga Weiss, who also holds Hungarian citizenship, was released from captivity by Hamas terrorists, whose aunt, Osnat Weiss, told the newspaper Hetek what horrors her relatives had to face.
Along with Noga Weiss, her mother Shiri Weiss is also among the freed hostages. Both were released on Saturday. The incident was preceded by an amazing hostage drama, because the Palestinian terrorists delayed the handover of the kidnapped for hours.
Osnat told the Weeks that they had high hopes for the release of Noga and Shiri.
As is known, the Hungarian-Israeli Weiss family was taken hostage by Hamas terrorists from the Beeri kibbutz on October 7. The mother and her 18-year-old daughter were held hostage for 50 days, while the Hungarian-Israeli father, Ilan Weiss, has been listed as missing ever since, he left home that very morning because the neighbors asked for his help. He hasn't been seen since.
During the attack on the kibbutz, Noga's aunt first contacted the girls' mother, who informed her that the kibbutz where they live is full of Hamas terrorists.
As it turned out, when the call was interrupted, Osnat texted his 18-year-old niece, Noga, who wrote that the armed men broke into their house, and she hid under the bed, after which the terrorists set fire to the house. Noga's two sisters survived the attack, they hid in another apartment.
Noga was finally caught after he jumped out the window of his room, choking on smoke.

Osnat also said that his other brother Amir and his wife were killed by the terrorists when they were hiding in the security room of their home. The jihadists threw a hand grenade here, injuring both of them. Before their death, they still had the strength to say goodbye to their surviving family members, who also lived in the same kibbutz as their parents.
