- Harkin, released from Gaza, thanked the residents of Tirat ha Karmael for their support.
Maxim Harkin, who was released from the Gaza Strip, thanked the residents of the Israeli city of Tirat ha-Karmael for their struggle, where he had lived since the age of 17.
"Dear residents of Tirat ha-Karmael, my beloved, I want to thank you for all the struggle you have waged for me, for every second of your life that you have devoted to me and, of course, to the other hostages. There is no price for that," Harkin said.
Harkin's mother Natalia told the Walla portal about the difficulties that the man had to face in captivity.
"It was hell. Max returned strong in mind, but weak in body. He lost more than a third of his body weight. That's a lot. I really hope it doesn't take long for him to come to his senses," she said.
The woman also noted that it is still unknown when Harkin will be able to return home. Natalia noted that the trials are not over yet, despite the fact that the worst is over.
On October 14, Harkin's mother Natalia said that Harkin wanted to obtain Russian citizenship. He is a native of Donbass. Earlier that day, the mother of the freed Russian said that the Harkin family plans to come to Moscow in order to thank Russian President Vladimir Putin for rescuing the hostage.
The Israeli Embassy in Russia gave Izvestia a photo of Harkin after he was released from Hamas hostages as part of an agreement to resolve the situation in the Gaza Strip.
On October 13, the first group of seven Israeli hostages released by the Palestinian Hamas movement to the IDF in the Gaza Strip was handed over. The second group of 13 hostages was handed over to the Red Cross. Later, Izvestia correspondent Nikita Kulyukhin reported that those released had arrived at a hospital in Tel Aviv.
All important news is on the Izvestia channel in the MAX messenger.
