The family of woman soldier Agam Berger thanked Israel’s security forces and people Thursday for their support after she was released by Hamas as part of a Gaza ceasefire deal, AFP reports.

“We want to thank the security forces and all the people of Israel for their support and prayers. Now Agam and our family can begin the healing process,” the family said in a statement after the military reported that Berger had been reunited with her family.
