UNITED STATES, JUL 08 – Eli Sharabi’s memoir reveals his ordeal and faith during over a year of Hamas captivity after the attack that killed more than 1,000 people, publishers said.

  • Eli Sharabi, an Israeli man kidnapped in the deadly Hamas attack on October 7, 2023, wrote a memoir titled 'Hostage' released in English on October 7, 2025.
  • The memoir follows Sharabi's more than yearlong captivity, which resulted from an attack killing over 1,000 people and taking more than 200 hostage during a surprise assault.
  • Sharabi recounts his ordeal in stark, unflinching prose, detailing the bonds formed with other hostages, including an unbreakable father-son bond with Alon Ohel, who remains captive.
  • Sharabi emphasized the urgency of sharing the story promptly so that people everywhere can gain insight into the experience of being held captive, believing that once they grasp this reality, they will be compelled to respond rather than remain indifferent.
  • The release aims to raise global awareness about hostage conditions and resilience, as Sharabi's faith helped him endure mental anguish and horrific conditions.
