Three men who were taken from Kibbutz Nir Oz will soon be let go. This kibbutz was attacked on October 7, where about 80 out of 400 residents were captured.
Iair Horn, 46, is a dual citizen of Israel and Argentina. He was taken along with his brother, Eitan Horn, who is still in captivity. Sagui Dekel Chen, 36, has both American and Israeli citizenship. He was working outside when the attack happened, and his wife had to hide in a safe room with their two daughters. She later gave birth to their third daughter two months later.
The third hostage is Alexander “Sasha” Troufanov, 29. He has Israeli and Russian citizenship and was captured with his grandmother, mother, and girlfriend. The three women were released during a short ceasefire in November 2023. Unfortunately, Sasha’s father was killed during the attack.
Among the more than 300 Palestinian prisoners set to be released is Ahmed Barghouti, 48. He was a close helper of Marwan Barghouti, a well-known Palestinian leader. Israel sentenced Ahmed to life in prison for sending suicide bombers to attack Israeli civilians during the Second Intifada in the early 2000s. He was arrested with Marwan Barghouti in 2002
