Extra: A Former Hamas Hostage Returns Home. His Father Tells His Story.

Edan Alexander, an American taken hostage during the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas attack on Israel, returned to the United States this week and was given a big welcome by his hometown of Tenafly, New Jersey, on Thursday afternoon. Edan was serving in the Israeli Defense Forces when Hamas terrorists ambushed and captured him. For 584 days, Edan was a hostage in the Gaza tunnels until he was freed on May 12th of this year. Just days before his return to the U.S., his father, Adi Alexander, joined FOX News Rundown host Dave Anthony to describe what Edan endured while he was being held captive and how difficult it was for him and his family knowing their child was in so much danger. Adi also weighed in on the multiple wars Israel is engaged in and his hopes that the remaining hostages being held by Hamas will be released. We often must cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear the full interview. Today on FOX News Rundown Extra, we will share our entire interview with Adi Alexander, allowing you to hear about Edan's harrowing story of survival and how his family never lost hope during the treacherous ordeal.
