WATCH: Hostage Or Levy is back home in Israel – and his 3 year old son's agonizing wait for his dad is finally over

After 491 days in Hamas captivity, Or Levy finally returns to his three-year-old son Almog, who has lived without both parents since his mother Einav was murdered at the Nova festival on October 7. 

Or Levy, held captive by Hamas for 491 days, shared an emotional reunion with his family members at Sheba Hospital Saturday, following his release alongside Eli Sharabi and Ohad Ben Ami, also released today.

Levy, 33, was abducted from the Nova music festival on October 7, 2023, where his wife Einav was murdered, leaving their then two-year-old son Almog without both parents. His return marks an emotional milestone for his family, especially his young son, now three, who has been without both parents for nearly 16 months.

Or only found out today that his wife was murdered on October 7th, mirroring the experience of Eli Sharabi, who also discovered today that his wife and teenage daughters were murdered on October 7th.

Earlier, upon learning of his imminent release, Levy's mother Geula had expressed her overwhelming emotion: "My heart is leaping from my chest. For a year and four months, the little one has been alone without his father and mother."

His brother Michael shared the news with Levy's son in a simple, touching Facebook post: "Mogi [Almog's nickname], we found Dad."
