The family of American-Israeli hostages released by Hamas in the Gaza Strip has spoken out, expressing relief at their release but emphasizing that the nightmare is far from over as eight family members are still being held captive. They are calling on the Israeli government to secure the release of the remaining hostages before launching a ground invasion into Gaza.
