The two women who were released from Hamas custody appeared to be in “OK” medical condition when they arrived at Tel Aviv’s Ichilov hospital, a hospital official said Tuesday morning.
“They look fine. Their medical condition is good. They are talking,” said the hospital’s head nurse, Eti Uziel, in a video released by the hospital shortly after the two women arrived.
The elderly women – Israeli citizens Nurit Cooper, 79, and Yocheved Lifshitz, 85 – had an “emotional” reunion with their families at the hospital and are being monitored overnight, Uriel said.

“At first, we immediately took them to their families. It was a very, very emotional meeting. At this point we will let them rest a little with their family. After that, we will perform a complete examination. They will stay with us tonight and tomorrow. Right now for them and their families it is a very, very emotional situation and we are happy that they are here with us.”
The women were kidnapped from their homes in Kibbutz Nir Oz on October 7, a statement from the Israeli prime minister’s office said.
Their spouses – Amiram, Cooper’s husband, 85, and Oded, Lifshitz’s husband, 83 – were kidnapped along with them and are still being held by Hamas, he added.
