Kan previews hostage series Families recount October 7

Oct 4

Kan announces a special anniversary project revisiting six hostage families and airs substantial excerpts. An unnamed mother from the Yahalomi family recalls leaving a wounded Ohad behind, Eitan being put on one motorcycle and herself and her daughters on another, tanks approaching, their motorcycle falling and a terrorist forcing them into a roadside container. She recalls escaping when a tank arrived and the lasting pain of running in the opposite direction from her abducted son. A second unnamed relative recalls Hagar's message about attackers entering her home, losing contact, seeing a bleeding wounded Sergei and fearing his family had been murdered. The complete preview is retained; neither unidentified voice is assigned an invented person ID and the second brief account does not establish the family's eventual fate.

Kan announces a news series marking three years since October 7, revisiting six hostage families to hear about life since returning. The anchor says it will start the next day and continue over subsequent days. Its substantial preview includes a Yahalomi mother's attack-and-escape recollection and another relative's unanswered messages and wounded companion. This is the announcement and preview, not completed future broadcasts or evidence of every family member's fate.
