A new wave of rumors regarding the rescue of abductees from the Gaza Strip flooded the social networks this morning (Saturday), but the IDF and the families of the abductees emphasize: there is no truth in these reports.
The IDF spokesman firmly clarified: “No abductees were rescued. Spreading false rumors harms the families of the abductees, and we implore the public to refrain from it.” This is the third denial on behalf of the IDF in one day, emphasizing the seriousness of the situation. Among the names mentioned in the rumors was that of the observer Liri Elbag. Her family appealed to the public with an emotional request: “Please, stop spreading rumors that harm the families of the abductees. Our dear Leary was not rescued. When there is good news, everyone will know.”
Shai Albag, the sister of the abducted Liri, shared the pain: “Every night is a sleepless night, but last night was a night full of rumors. I spent half of it in watchful anticipation by the door. At first I jumped in the hope that my Liri would return, and later I was attacked by anxiety that something terrible might happen. Please, Avoid spreading rumors that harm us, the families. Even if there is a grain of truth in them, we don’t need to hear about it through Telegram or from strangers. Let’s hope for good news soon.”
The headquarters of the families of the abductees joined the call: “We ask the public to refrain from spreading unverified rumors and reports. Their spread on social networks hurts the families who have been waiting for the return of their loved ones for over a year.” The authorities emphasize the importance of sticking to official reports only and ask the public to refrain from spreading unverified information.
