At the heart of Tel Aviv, Hostage Square became a place of prayer, protest, and shared hope. On the day the hostages returned, it transformed into something sacred — a space filled with emotion, gratitude, and quiet disbelief.

Through my lens, I captured the faces, the embraces, and the stillness between the celebrations — the unspoken relief that swept through the crowd. This video preserves the collective heartbeat of that day, when Israel exhaled together for the first time in months.

It’s a visual testament to the power of hope, unity, and resilience, reminding us that behind every banner and candle are real people, real stories, and a country that refuses to stop caring.
