Eliya Cohen, recently released from 500 days of captivity, learned that his fiancée, Ziv Abud, had survived the October 7 attacks. They had last seen each other in a shelter during a Hamas attack. An emotional reunion was captured on video, displaying their love and relief. Abud, who endured traumatic experiences during her survival, expressed her ongoing struggle after his abduction, stating she feels she cannot truly live without him. Both have faced immense grief from the loss of friends and family during the violent attack.
Hamas threw nine grenades into our shelter and I heard Eliya screaming and he told me that he was hurt and after two minutes I felt his hands slipping away.
I don't feel alive now. I'm just waiting. Every day I'm just waiting for him, for all of the kidnapped. We can't just go on when they're not home.
I often think about the moment you return. How will you react when you find out that I'm alive?
What will I tell you? How will I tell you about Amit, Yonatan, and [the] hundreds of our friends who are no longer.
