Ofer Calderon was kidnapped from Kibbutz Nir Oz along with two of his children, Erez and Sahar, who returned at the first sign of trouble. His daughter Sahar said that when she met him in the Hamas tunnels, she did not recognize her father, and when she was released, he asked her to deliver a strengthening message to the entire family. Since then, the Calderon family has been at the forefront of the struggle for his release, and today he was finally reunited with them.
