600 days of war. 600 days since the most brutal massacre of Jews since the Holocaust. 600 days of heartbreak and anguish. 600 days since we have seen our hostages. 600 days of sirens and running to shelters. 600 days of torture in the tunnels of Gaza. 600 days of resilience and determination. 600 days under enemy fire. 600 days of fighting barbaric enemies. 600 days that our IDF heroes could have spent with their families yet spent at war to bring their brothers and sisters home. Today, we salute their courage and thank them for their service. May 600 be the last day that any hostage has been in captivity. 🙏🏻 (fb)
