Omer Wenkert, who was freed from Gaza terror captivity in February, documented the moment he embraced follow freed hostages Guy Gilboa-Dalal and Evyatar David in a social media post on Saturday. Gilboa-Dalal and David were released on Monday after 737 days in captivity. Wenkert's video documented the first meeting between the three terror captivity survivors since February.
"A nightmare that ended - a dream that begins," Wenkert wrote in the caption for his Instagram post.
Since his release eight months ago, Wenkert has referred to Gilboa-Dalal and David as “brothers,” after terrorists held them together as hostages in the strip. In a previous interview near the time of his release, Wenkert said that “it was very difficult to comprehend that I was leaving and they would be remaining in captivity. I cannot stop thinking about them because I know what they are going through.”
"Knowing that I'm here, that I'm living my freedom, is completely crazy...There is not a moment that I do not think about them," he commented at the time.
Did Wenkert buy fellow hostages electric guitars?
Screenshots from the reunion shared on social media appear to show Gilboa-Dalal and David posing with electric guitars gifted to them by Wenkert during their reunion.
Former hostage Tal Shoham also joined his compatriots for the reunion.
