Newly freed Israeli-American Edan Alexander hopes to return to New Jersey soon with his family — as the 21-year-old recently enjoyed a cold beer for the first time since he was released by Hamas.
Edan's time held hostage by Hamas terrorists left him "physically changed" after his "skin grew sallow from lack of sunshine and covered in red welts," NYT reported.
American-Israeli hostage Edan Alexander, who had been held captive by Hamas in Gaza since Oct. 7, 2023, was released on Monday.
Hamas released the American Israeli citizen, who was serving in the Israeli army when he was captured on Oct. 7, 2023.
For the first time since the release Monday from Gaza of American-Israeli hostage Edan Alexander's by the militant group Hamas, his family spoke publicly about what their emotional reunion was like, and what their son went through.
