Yael Alexander speaks to her son, Edan, for the first time since his release from Hamas

Israel has released emotional footage showing Edan Alexander’s mom blissfully speaking to her 21-year-old son on the phone just after he was released from Hamas’ clutches in Gaza.

“You are strong. You are safe. You are home. We’ll see each other soon. I love you,” Yael Alexander said to her son, an Israel Defense Forces staff sergeant who was held captive by the bloodthirsty terror group for more than 19 months.
