Among the six hostages freed by Hamas on Saturday in return for Palestinian prisoners were an Israeli Bedouin and an Ethiopian-born man who had been in Gaza for years before the October 7, 2023 attack, having wandered into the enclave a decade ago. Civilians Hisham al-Sayed, 36, and Avera Mengistu, 39, both had a history of mental illness, according to comments from their families and a 2017 report from Human Rights Watch. Mengistu, who was born in Ethiopia and lived in the southern Israeli city of Ashkelon, crossed a barbed wire fence near a beach in Gaza in September 2014, while Sayed, a Bedouin with Israeli citizenship who lived in the Negev desert, walked into Gaza from the east in April 2015.
