Yosef Chaim Ohana An Israeli Hero Who Returned from Captivity

Standing with Yosef Chaim Ohana and his family on their journey to healing and rebuilding their lives

After long months of fear, prayer, and uncertainty – Yosef Chaim Ohana, a true hero of Israel, has finally returned home. A brave young man who endured the horrors of captivity and came back to us by the grace of Heaven. Now – it’s our turn to stand by his side.

He survived unimaginable ordeals: for two years in captivity, he was facing dozens of executions, with a gun to his head “just another second” away. Yet through sheer courage and clarity of mind, he managed to turn the tables: he engaged his captors, spoke to them in Arabic, convinced them of his “worthlessness” to them—and saved his own life time after time.

His father recalls:

“He said to his captor: ‘Before you shoot me — what do you gain? Nothing. The State of Israel will reward me… I’m your human shield.’”

Behind this homecoming lies a difficult reality. A family carried his absence day after day, a mother clung to hope through darkness, and siblings waited with open arms. Yosef Chaim is home—but the road to recovery, physical, emotional, and financial, is still long.

He needs our support to regain strength, rebuild his life, and live with dignity once again. Together, we join forces to help Yosef Chaim and his family reclaim their future. To ensure that a hero who returned from captivity will not have to fight this new battle alone. To give him back what was taken—light, security, and hope.
