Now would be a good time to celebrate their girl power by tuning into some female-centric TV. You can start on Thursday night, when KAN 11 will air a new documentary, Hostages, that follows the families of recently returned female border observers Liri Albag, Daniella Gilboa, and Karina Ariev during the nearly 16 months that these young women were held captive.
It includes interviews and footage following their return to Israel last Saturday. It also explores the guilt their families felt over reassuring them they would be safe on the base, despite their fears.
On October 7, , 15 border observers were killed at Nahal Oz, and seven were taken hostage. Of the hostages, one was rescued, one was killed in Gaza by Hamas, and four — the three who are the center of the film as well as Naama Levy — were released on January The last one, Agam Berger, is set to be released on Thursday. The four released hostages were forced by Hamas to take part in a bizarre ceremony in Gaza before they were permitted to enter the Red Cross vehicles. News reports revealed that they were supposed to give a speech on stage, praising their captors, but they refused to do so, even though they were surrounded by hundreds of Hamas gunmen.
If you missed the finale when it aired, it is still available on the KAN website kan. But the best parts of this season have also shown an underground shelter for Iranian women fleeing their husbands, in a society where a woman is required by law to obey her male relatives.
Tamar fits right in here. She is soon getting medical supplies for the pregnant women in the shelter in between her day job taking out the Iranian nukes. In almost every episode this season, she lets her guard down for a moment and various men overpower her in the final moments, only to have her kick their butts in the first scene of the next installment.
