Undeterred, she wraps her arm around a fellow hostage and strides towards \u200cthe awaiting Red Cross personnel.<\/p>\n<p>Kirsht and her husband, Yagev Buchshtav, 34, were abducted by Hamas terrorists during the \u2064October 7 attacks in southern Israel. As the assault unfolded, Kirsht sent a heartfelt voice\u2064 message to her mother,\u2063 expressing her love and regret for not being able to\u200d be with her, as reported by the <em>Times of \u200cIsrael<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout her captivity, Kirsht remained \u200csteadfastly by \u200cher husband&#8217;s side. When the terrorists informed her that \u200dshe would be released, but her husband\u200d would\u200d not, she adamantly refused to leave without him, as detailed by \u2064 <em>Israel\u200c Hayom<\/em>.
