The Regev Siblings: A Story of Resilience and Faith

The story of Maya, Itay, and Omer, the Israeli siblings who were held captive in Gaza, is a testament to human resilience. Despite the harrowing conditions — including severe injuries, lack of proper medical care, and minimal food supplies — the siblings managed to maintain their spirits through their faith and support for one another. Maya, whose leg was severely injured by a bullet, endured multiple operations without anesthesia and found solace in exchanging notes with her brothers. Itay, who also suffered wounds, saw divine intervention when he received grape juice from Maya to perform the Jewish ritual of Kiddush on Friday nights. After 50 days, Maya was released, followed by Itay four days later; however, Omer remains in captivity. Despite their ordeal, both siblings express gratitude for being reunited with their family and believe that miracles played a significant role in their survival.
