NY Native Marks Second Consecutive Birthday In Hamas Captivity
For the second year in a row, Omer Neutra is spending his birthday in terrorist captivity.
The New York native, from Long Island’s Plainview, was one of 251 hostages taken during the Hamas-led attacks on Israel on Oct. 7, 2023. Another 1,200 men, women, and children were killed in the attacks.
Neutra, who turned 23 on Monday, Oct. 14, moved to Israel when he was 18 to join the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) during a gap year, his parents Orna and Ronen said in a video shared by the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC).
