The twin brothers, who had been held captive by Hamas, were transferred to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) on Monday as part of a prisoner-hostage exchange and ceasefire agreement implementation.

Israel's Foreign Ministry also shared the post. They published images of additional hostages released by Hamas with the caption, "We've been waiting 738 days to say this - Welcome home Alon, Eitan, Guy, Ziv, Gali, Omri, and Matan!"

Ziv and Gali, who work as lighting technicians, were kidnapped from their residence in Kibbutz Kfar Aza during the October 7 attack. According to the Jerusalem Post, they were among seven individuals taken hostage that day.

When the brothers were released on Monday and arrived at Sheba Medical Center in Ramat Gan, they received a warm welcome from hundreds of Israeli citizens who greeted them with applause and supportive chants. Both brothers acknowledged the crowd with smiles and waves, expressing their gratitude for the support.
