the residents, 400 residents, have either been killed or kidnapped, according to the spokesman for nir oz. all of these hostages have lost family members in the october 7th attacks. many of them may not know about that. the idf was given strict instructions with how to engage with these hostages, how to deal with questions that they might be receiving from the hostages, how to, sort of, not answer them but also provide reassurance. and now that they're arriving here at this children's hospital, this is the first place that they will finally be reunited with some of their family members, which, of course, is a wonderful thing. but also the place where psychologists and psychiatrists and doctors and social workers have been assembled and picked to potentially break the heartbreaking news to them about what may have happened to some of their family members and certainly of course what happened to their community and communities like theirs across the country. so, it's a real mixture in terms of the emotion of the moment. it's a homecoming, and you hear the cheering. but there's also a som
