 About the release of other captives, the son added, "We fought to bring him back."

According to a statement sent to BBC News, the 75-year-old captive Ada Sagi's son intends to give her the largest embrace of her life and tell her "how hard we worked" to get her freedom.

On the sixth day of the truce, Ada Sagi was freed together with two Thais and ten Israelis, including nine women and a girl.

Shortly after his mother and others were turned over to the Red Cross on Tuesday night, we had a conversation with British-Israeli Noam Sagi.

"It's really a beautiful, wonderful moment," he said.

Ada was issued with the following ages: 78 for Tamar Metzger; 84 for Dietza Heymann; 60 for Norlin Babadila; 77 for Ophelia Edith Roitman; 36 for Rimon Kirsht; and 53 for Merav Tal.

A family also saw the release of three members: Mia Limberg, 17, Clara Marmon, 63, and Gabriella Limburg, 59.

"It's a great relief," said Noam Sagi. "I spoke with her on video chat just now. She's witty, perceptive, and humorous. She is an individual. I'm overjoyed.

"I just want to feel her as well as hug her and I want her to know how much we fought for our lives to this day and that she will always know how loved she is."

She "looked good, she was very happy," he added, adding that there was much more to her ignorance.

"She doesn't know that she cannot have a home to go back to, she doesn't know that many of her friends have been murdered."

He said, "We have to pick up the puzzle and figure everything out... but at this moment, today, it's really just about fun."

It was two days after his mother was abducted from her kibbutz in Nir Oz, on Israel's Gaza border, that I first visited Noam at his north London home. He played a Hamas video for us, in which he was one of the shooters who burned his mother's vehicle on fire as they were lying on the lawn outside.

Since then, he has attempted to secure his mother's release by meeting with the British Prime Minister, MPs, speaking at demonstrations, and corresponding with diplomats and the Red Cross.

Ada was an Arabic speaker who had taught others the language so they could converse with their Palestinian neighbors before she was abducted.

Her son noted that she was a peace activist and that she "struggled her whole life for good neighborly relations" in her town. Ada was scheduled to celebrate her 75th birthday in London a week after she was abducted.

She had already told the BBC that it would be "psychological terror" to wait to find out whether she will be among those freed.

"Every night is like a leaf waiting for a list," she said, comparing it to "Russian roulette for the heart." Do we enter now? Are we going now? It is very hurtful.

Noam was chatting to lampposts with photographs of his mother on them when some individuals in Britain tore down posters of abducted persons from walls.

Ditzah Heyman, 84, one of the founders of Kibbutz Nir Oz, which Hamas invaded on October 7, is among the other prisoners freed on Tuesday.

Another victim of kidnapping was Ofelia Roitman, 77, of Nir Oz, who emigrated to Israel from Argentina in the 1980s.

He sent a message requesting assistance after Hamas struck. In a video, her daughter said that when additional remains were eventually discovered during a search of her house, she remained missing.

A daughter in the group who was texting her father said that Clara Merman, Gabriela Limberg, and her daughter Mia were among the five Argentinian-Israelis who hid in their safe room.

Noraline "Natalie" Babadila, sixty, was at Kibbutz Nirim for the 70th anniversary celebration. Her spouse was killed. Her last words were, according to her younger brother Exo, who spoke to the Bring Them Home website, "I'm trembling; I probably won't come home."

Mirav Tal, 53, had traveled to Nir Oz in the meantime to meet with her lover, Yer. Along with Yair's children, Or and Yagil, who were freed on Monday, the couple was also abducted. Yair is being held captive in Gaza by Hamas.
