Alon Ohel is Home - But He's Blind in One Eye 

His parents, Kobi and Idit Ohel, had previously shared that propaganda footage from Hamas showed him losing sight in his right eye, appearing emaciated and under duress.

Accounts from other freed hostages described Ohel being chained in underground tunnels, starved, and denied proper medical attention, with risks to his remaining vision.

The family had demanded urgent medical intervention, holding Hamas responsible for his deteriorating health.

Ohel, who holds dual Israeli-Serbian citizenship, was reportedly held by Gaza civilians trusted by Hamas, in basements or dungeons, further complicating his conditions.

His release has sparked joy across Israel, with social media filled with images of his return and calls for the recovery of remaining hostage remains.
