American-Israeli Keith Siegel is back on Israeli soil this morning after he was among three hostages released by Hamas militants in the war-torn Gaza Strip on Saturday, more than 15 months after they were taken captive by the group during its Oct.

Siegel, 65, originally from Chapel Hill, North Carolina, was taken hostage from Kibbutz Kfar Aza, along with his wife, Aviva Siegel. She was released during a brief 2023 cease-fire and has waged a high-profile campaign to free Keith and other hostages.
