For 584 days, Edan Alexander's parents lived every parent's nightmare, waiting and fighting for any sign that their son would come home. Edan, then a 19-year-old IDF soldier originally from New Jersey, was captured and dragged into Gaza by Hamas during the October 7 attack. His parents remember the call that changed everything after the October 7 attack, the agonizing months that followed, and the push that took them from one administration to the next, eventually reaching President Trump and Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff. Then, Adi Alexander looked at his phone and saw several missed calls from Witkoff. Edan is coming home. The American-Israeli soldier, who grew up in New Jersey, was freed after 584 days in Hamas captivity. His mother recalls running toward him when they finally reunited: "Now we are seeing Edan like it's the first time." Months later, Edan made clear that surviving captivity isn't the end of his story: "I will once again put on the IDF uniform, and I will proudly serve alongside my brothers. My story does not end with survival. It continues with service." Hear Edan's story and other survivors’ testimonies on @​foxnation: ▻
