British-Israeli woman Emily Damari, who was held hostage by Hamas for 15 months, has undergone surgery to repair injuries sustained during the October 7 attacks. Damari said her scars represent 'freedom, hope, and strength'. She was held for 471 days with little medical treatment and has now undergone a series of complex operations on her hand and leg. Damari's mother described her daughter as being 'sewn up like a pin cushion' in Gaza. Damari was released on January 19 as part of a ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas.
