Edan Alexander is Home

Over the past 19 months we have been operating tirelessly to bring back all the hostages home from the hardships of captivity in Gaza. 

Today, we rejoice as Edan Alexander has returned home. 

Edan, a 21 year old American-Israeli citizen was abducted on October 7th, 2023. Today, after 584 days in brutal, inhumane captivity, Edan is finally home.

Edan grew up in New Jersey, and at the age of 18, decided to move to Israel as a lone soldier to serve in the IDF, where he served in the Golani Brigade, putting himself at the forefront of Israel’s defense.   

For 584 days, Hamas tormented Edan’s family who hadn’t heard from their son in over a year and a half, through psychological warfare, taunting them with Hamas propaganda videos of their son in captivity without any updates on his condition. 

Edan has returned today, returning back to the arms of his parents, family, and friends, who have been waiting 584 to see him once again. 

Edan’s return today is a glimpse of light in a dark tunnel, but we mustn't forget about the rest. 58 hostages remain in captivity, 58 of them must be returned home. Our mission will not be complete until every single hostage is home.

Until they’re all back.
