A 9-year-old Israeli child and his family were reunited Friday for the first time after he was taken hostage during the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas.
Video shows the child, Ohad Munder, running down a corridor into the arms of his father, who scoops him up and spins him around. Behind him his mother, 55-year-old Keren Munder, and his grandmother, 78-year-old Ruti Munder, are also greeted with hugs. His grandfather, Avraham Munder, has not been released.
Munder, who loves solving Rubik’s cubes, turned 9 while being held in Gaza, and Israelis held events across the country to celebrate the day, according to the Times of Israel. Schneider Medical Center, which released the video of the reunion, also released photos of him solving a Rubik’s cube as Israel Defense Forces soldiers looked on.
