An Israeli father who has been held captive by Hamas for over two months may not know his wife and two daughters were murdered by Hamas, a grieving relative told The Post.
Eli Sharabi, 51, was abducted from Kibbutz Be’eri alongside his brother, 53-year-old Yossi Sharabi, during Hamas’ terror attack on Oct. 7, the brothers’ niece Shira Matalon said.
Eli’s wife, Lianne, and his daughters – Noiya, 16, and Yahel, 13 – were “brutally murdered” in the attack, Shira explained.
“I don’t think Eli knows that he lost his family, now we are the closest family he has,” Shira, 17, lamented.
“We are very worried about how he’s going to take it. I can only hope for the best, I can only hope that he’s strong and he can go through all of that and still be able to live his life. First, we need him back,” she said of her uncle’s possible response to his unimaginable loss.
“I believe in Eli…I believe that he can manage to deal with all of this and we owe it to him that we bring him home, so that he can be with the rest of his family, the ones that are left,” she added.
