Chabad.org: Names of the Hostages in Gaza for Prayer
The Israel Defense Forces reported on Oct. 19 that 203 people are known to have been taken hostage during the devastating terror attacks perpetrated by Hamas terrorists on Oct. 7. Between 100 to 200 people remain unaccounted for, with the remains of the murdered still being found. The actual number of hostages held captive in the Gaza Strip is still unknown. Some 30 of the captives are children under the age of 16, and another 10 to 20 are over the age of 60.
Chabad.org has compiled a list of 202 names from a number of published sources. Most include the Hebrew name and the name of the mother. Where the name of the mother is not reported, we have listed the hostage’s full name, as reported by family members.
While we have done our best to cross reference these names, many cannot be confirmed. Readers are invited to suggest additions or corrections in the response box at the bottom of this page.
Join us in praying to G‑d that all the hostages be returned from captivity safely and speedily. Amen!
