‘He knew nothing‘: How hostage Shlomi Ziv was rescued by the IDF
Rosa Ziv, the mother of Shlomi Ziv, who was one of the hostages rescued in Saturday’s operation, shared her feelings and said, “I believed that Shlomi would return with all my might.”
This morning, Rosa Ziv, Shlomi’s mother, was interviewed by Maariv and talked about the exciting reunion with her son. She explained that she didn’t know if he was still alive or what condition he would be in. “The joy is great, it cannot be described in words. I still do not realize that he is here. I believed that Shlomi would return with all my might; you have to believe in the good, and it will be good,” Ziv told Maariv.
She described the moment she found out he had been rescued from captivity, “At first, I heard unfounded rumors that he was rescued, but I didn’t believe he was coming back until the IDF officially informed us that he was on his way. After a few hours, we met him at Tel Hashomer Hospital [Sheba Medical Center],” Ziv said.
