Thousands rallied in Tel Aviv, invoking the story of Purim, to demand the release of hostages held in Gaza, including 19-year-old Liri Albag. Families of the hostages, still detained, have called for national unity to secure their return. A photo released by a hostage's family, with intelligence service permission, revealed that some female hostages, including Albag, were held in Gaza homes, not by Hamas directly. Israel identified Albag's DNA from traces of blood in a room of a 40-meters underground tunnel, filled with children's toys, where she has been held for 170 days without further information on her whereabouts. The Daily Mail reported that the hostages were kept in the homes of Gaza families, indicating a domestic setting for their captivity. Amid the Purim holiday, Liri Albag's family reminisced about her participating in the festivities through the years, while reports emerged of her being treated as a domestic slave, forced to clean toilets and cook, surviving on scraps.
