Abigail (4) survived under her father's body

Little Abigail, just four years old, survived the harrowing ordeal of witnessing her parents' brutal murder at the hands of Hamas terrorists on October 7. The heart-wrenching incident occurred in a kibbutz situated on the border of the Gaza Strip, where she resided with her siblings.

According to reports, during the Hamas invasion, Abigail's mother was callously gunned down in front of her children. As the terror struck, her father rushed to protect his youngest daughter. Tragically, he too fell victim to the brutal attack, leaving Abigail and her siblings to bear the unimaginable.

Fortunately, her elder siblings managed to survive the attack by taking refuge in a nearby cupboard, where they endured a long 14-hour ordeal before being rescued. However, Abigail was not so fortunate. In the chaos of the attack, she was seized by the terrorists, who then took her and several other families to the Gaza Strip.

US President Joe Biden, deeply moved by the little girl's plight, personally advocated for her release. On Sunday, Abigail became the first US citizen among the hostages to be freed in accordance with the agreement between Israel and Hamas. Biden expressed his joy at her return but also acknowledged the deep sadness she must feel at the loss of her parents.

Meanwhile, her great-aunt and cousin have expressed their profound relief and gratitude for the little girl's safe return. Abigail is now set to reunite with her siblings and live with her extended family in Israel.

Since Friday, 58 of the approximately 240 hostages have been released from Hamas control, with another 10 expected to follow suit on Monday.

Although the Middle East conflict has once again made headlines following the Hamas terrorist attack, no specific details regarding an individual named Abigail can be found in the available search results.
