From living nightmare to movie-like dream, ex-hostage tells-all about surviving Hamas captivity 

I lost it and started weeping when he said the soldier was killed last week. The moment he said it I started crying and praying for him. He saved this man's life and gave his life for his people. I imagine he was young like the age of my son. I'm so sorry for the hostages and the soldiers dying bc of Hamas. I try not to watch these bc I know I'll be crying as I think about it during the day. I'm lost for words now.

Father lord please bring the rest of the hostages home in peace.

When he said he was killed last week i lost it and i still cant stop crying ... bless the idf who helped free him ...

I just can't fathom how these terrorists won't release the hostages to save their own people. They must be insane.

Father please bring them home. ❤️🙏☦️🏠🏡🏡🛏

❤❤❤i cried hearing your story Luis. We are happy you are home. Praying for the IDF soldier who rescued who died a week ago. From United States of America.

Dear man welcome home. May you heal fast and have a wonderful life❤

Good Luck Louis on youre road to recovery

Hostage taking is blackmail, a horrific act of terrorism. The trauma it causes is clear to see. I hope this man finds some solace.

Happy for your return . Prayers for every good soul on earth . I pray that rest of the hostages also return

We pray for the peace in Jerusalem

What a lovely man, Israelis are good people. Sending love from New Zealand, I continue to pray for Israel ❤️🇮🇱🇳🇿

I truly fell on the floor and cried when Louis and Fernando were rescued! I love them both and pray for their health and happiness in the future.

Prayers for all the hostages still alive to return home... I'm thinking of that 85 years old man, my dad's age, and I feel deeply sad for this elderly and also the baby and infant still in HAMAS captivity, too... 🇪🇺💖🇮🇱

It is hard to believe people could do this to others. Demons. Do the people of Gaza ever think of the hostages???

Please...families who have love ones in captivity, stop the doubt and protest against your government. They do care and looking for them in every moment and opportunity they have. IDFs and your government need your support and appreciation. Work together...cooperate with one another. No division. ❤❤

Where are the young children, they are still hostages

I’m very thankful for your rescue. I wondered how on earth they located you, but now I know a little. I hope more of that story is told soon. I pray for the release of the rest of the hostages and for all Israel to believe in Moshiach Yeshua.

I pray for the hostages that are still in captivity, Father place your angels around them keep them in the palm of your hand, I plead the precious blood of Jesus over them, bring them home Father, hear & answer the prayers of your children all over the world in Jesus Mighty Name Amen!🙏❤

The point that he heard the soldier that were part of the rescue team killed,that's heart breaking

YHWH will protect Israel. Israel needs to pray to YHWH. May YHWH protect and love Israel forever.

I listen, despite how sad, to be a witness. So their story will not be lost. WE must never forget the horrendous thing done to these people and who is responsible -HAMAS.

The Jewish people bear their pain in silence but God will deliver and preserve them openly. Glory to God who always deliver on His promises to His people 🙏🏽❤️🇮🇱

THANKS YESHUA 🛐🛐🛐

MAY YOU BE DIVINELY ASSISTED TO OVERCOME THIS ORDEAL.

Louis, thank you for having the courage to share your thoughts and experiences. Your tears will offer us all a chance to weep with you. Tears show us that a person has the courage to feel & to heal. Be gentle on yourself as you move forward into a ‘new’ life. Do not let Survivor Guilt prevent you from experiencing the relief of your freedom. The young IDF soldiers who were part of the team who saved you were so grateful to have been the ones chosen For that mission. You Honor the young man who lost his life by you living a meaningful life. I bless you that you should live to teach younger generations about resilience, compassion, friendship, connection & gratitude. Shalom From South Africa

powerful story idf soldier who saved hostaGES WAS KILLED AT A LATER TIME. IMAGINE THAT AN IDF SOLDIER THAT SAVED AND YOU FIND OUT BY A KID RELATIVE OF THE SAME IDF SOLIDIER, THAT HE DIED .

What an extraordinary man, as we say, "the salt of the earth" embodied in this one Israeli man. Thank God and the IDF that he has at last been rescued from the barbarians, and is now safe. In his self deprecation, in his humility, we see a very special human being, and through his humanity we glimpse the spirit of Israel writ large. A unique outpost of freedom and hope for the world to emulate. Israel's spiritual being is a reflection of our own. A war of national survival has once again visited Israel, one day it will visit us all if we are not vigilant and prepared. Evil exists. We see it in the streets of our cities throughout the Judeo-Christian World. It is a war of good versus evil. Wake up. Defend freedom or the darkness will consume us all.

hearing his words I cray❤❤❤and goose bub all over my body❤❤❤from Myanmar

G-D bless the IDF. Without them, we the Israelis are nothing. Without the IDF, Israel won't even have a chance to exist.

May I also repost this footage in my channel? We need to continue getting the word out and make this vital. The world needs to know what the hostages are going through

I watched the Israeli Police rescue you! I'm so glad you and the other gentleman were rescued. I thank Jesus Christ but still praying for all the others. 🎗️🕯️

Shalom, Luis. May you still enjoy many good years!

Keep strong Sir, praise God for bringing you home and all the rest. Not easy sad and horrified by your experienced but there's a reason why perhaps you will make the best pizza ever. God bless you and Israel.

I cried with you Luis and for all the hostages still in captivity ..and for the sad loss of so many young lives.עם ישראל חי מדרום אפריקה

I love my beautiful strong people!

Brilliant analyst Raphael Jerusalmy needs to be on i24 far more often please

❤❤❤

Louis, wishing you a speedy recovery. I held your poster at a London march and kept it to think and pray for you until I heard the news of your rescue. RIP the brave soldiers lost.

I tried telling people rhe hostages were aboveground and not in the tunnels like they say ... Gkad he survived the bombardments

What a KIND HEARTED MAN Sorry he suffered so much yet he is a Good Strong Man with a Strong Spirit ! Baruch HASHEM ! May it be the Will of HASHEM to FREE ALL HOSTAGES TODAY !

This is so hard to watch. I actually can't watch it. It is heartbreaking. The entire country feels the same way. We must bring them home!! ACHSHAV!!

HalleluYah!

Am Yisrael Chai

Mia is a HERO behind this rescue, amazing, she even gave distance 14 km, not all kids can do that. God bless you Mia.

Praying for the rest of the hostages to get out of that hell hole and come home! My heartfelt condolences to the families of the brave, fallen soldiers! I know Israel will keep fighting those criminals to bring your loved ones home. 🙏🏻

God is great!❤praise his holy name!!! You won’t be alive if God didn’t help you

WE LOVE YOUR SMILES YES YOU ARE FREE😢😢😢❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Oh God may you help the hostages to give them more strength not to give up., that soon you will rescue them. 🙏

What a kind hearted man.

So sorry for everything you all have been through. It was heartbreaking to hear about the fallen soldier who rescued you. 😢🙏🏼

😢

... Yeah ! ... can't stop crying now !!! ... can't find no words now !!! ... nothin' left to say !!! ... AMEN ! ...

God please protect the brave IDF.

Hats off to the special teams. They brought back their common citizens with procedures which even most Presidents, Kings don't have for protection. They value their own people even at considerable risk to their own lives. This contrasts with Hamas which officially stated that " refugees" are the responsibility of UN.

Father God in Jesus Holy Name please help the IDF find all the rest of the hostages and bring them back home! And Dear God have mercy on our two MP’s here in Canada shaking hands with The Pa Lader where the people were rejoicing over the slaughter of over 1200 civilians and many thousands injured and captured! What kind of MP’s are being elected? Wake up,Canadians!

💙

Hostage taking is a war crime! So terrible! War is brutal！Hope more people value peace now!

Wow, still openly aggressive and the world acts like they are the victims. The hostages should be free without conditions.
