Julie, the mother of hostage survivor Bar Koperstein, told ynet that “every day he talks and shares, he barely sleeps, doesn’t want to miss any moment.” Koperstein described his rehabilitation process, saying: “He’s not eating normally, he’s allowed only a very small amount – because they actually overfed them in the last days in captivity after eating just enough to survive for a long period.” According to her, “Bar heard me speaking on the radio, exactly on his birthday – it gave him strength. He told me ‘Mom, I knew you had faith and that’s what would sustain me.'”
