Overview

• Doron Katz Asher, 34, and her daughters Raz, 4, and Aviv, 2, were taken hostage by Hamas during an attack on Kibbutz Nir Oz on Oct. 7.
• Katz Asher's mother was killed during the abduction, and she and her daughter Aviv were lightly wounded.
• In captivity, Katz Asher and her daughters were held in a family's apartment for 16 days, where she taught her 4-year-old to write in Hebrew.
• They were later moved to a hospital room with other Israeli captives, where they were locked in a 130-square-foot room with inconsistent food and limited toilet access.
• Katz Asher and her daughters were eventually freed in a temporary cease-fire deal in late November.
