Israeli mother pleads for son’s return a year after Oct. 7

Season 2024 Episode 281 | 4m 40s

During the attacks on Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas militants abducted about 250 men, women and children and took them to Gaza. Since then, 117 have been freed and eight others rescued. For the loved ones of the more than 60 hostages believed to still be alive, the past year has been a nightmare without end. Nick Schifrin spoke with the mother of one of those hostages being held captive.
