The family of Eli Sharabi wants to break the tragic news of his wife and daughters’ deaths themselves, fearing it will crush him if he hears it from others.
Bristol: Eli Sharabi’s family is in a tough spot. They want to be the ones to tell him about the tragic loss of his wife and daughters. It’s a heartbreaking situation.
His wife, Lianne, and their two daughters, Noiya and Yahel, were killed in the October 7 attacks. Eli is still held by Hamas and doesn’t know what happened.
His brother-in-law, Stephen, shared that Eli needs to hear the news from family, not from soldiers. It would be too much for him to handle.
Stephen said, “Eli has been holding on, hoping to reunite with them. Finding out they’re gone could break him.”
He reassured Eli that they will support him, no matter what. They just want him to know he’s not alone.
The attacks on October 7 were brutal. Hamas killed many and took hostages. Israel responded with airstrikes and a ground invasion to free those captured.
Recently, some hostages have been released as part of a ceasefire deal. It’s a small glimmer of hope in a dark time.
