Yair Yaakov, 59, and his partner, Meirav Tal, 54, were taken captive from Yair’s home in Kibbutz Nir Oz on October 7th. Yair Yaakov’s sons, Or and Yagil, 16 and 12, were also taken captive from their mother home and were freed on November 27th, while Meirav was freed on November 28th. Yair’s family knows that he was injured in the Hamas attack in his house on October 7th, and that the militants used brutal force against him. At 9:20 a.m., Meirav sent a voice message to Yaniv, Yair’s brother, that Hamas members had entered their home. Yair was trying to hold the safe room door shut to fend off the attackers. By Sunday evening, the family found a video taken by Hamas, showing that they had used grenades to open the door of Yair’s sealed room to abduct him and Meirav. Yair has been in Hamas captivity for 113 days. He likely doesn’t even know if his sons are alive or dead. Bring Yair home now!
