She had two siblings, Nita and Dolev, the latter of whom was killed in the October 7, 2023, attack on settlements surrounding Gaza.<\/p>\n<p>Her grandparents established the kibbutz, a cooperative settlement where a group of Israeli settlers live and work together, primarily in agriculture.<\/p>\n<p>Her father later moved to the Israeli city of Rishon LeZion. As an adult, Arbel traveled to South America with her partner, Ariel Kono, whom she had known since childhood. The couple eventually returned to Israel.<\/p>\n<p>Arbel began working as a space and astronomy guide at the &#8220;GroTech&#8221; technology complex under the Eshkol Regional Council. She continued in this role until her capture during the Al-Aqsa Flood operation.<\/p>\n<p>According to a senior official from the Islamic Jihad Movement, Yahiel Yehud was a trained soldier in the space program of the Israeli occupation army.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5457\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5457\" style=\"width: 768px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5457 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/In-the-initial-exchange-deal-with-Israel-the-Qassam-Brigades-released-dozens-of-Israeli-prisoners.jpg\" alt=\"the initial exchange deal with Israel\" width=\"768\" height=\"432\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/In-the-initial-exchange-deal-with-Israel-the-Qassam-Brigades-released-dozens-of-Israeli-prisoners.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/In-the-initial-exchange-deal-with-Israel-the-Qassam-Brigades-released-dozens-of-Israeli-prisoners-390x220.jpg 390w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/In-the-initial-exchange-deal-with-Israel-the-Qassam-Brigades-released-dozens-of-Israeli-prisoners-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/In-the-initial-exchange-deal-with-Israel-the-Qassam-Brigades-released-dozens-of-Israeli-prisoners-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/In-the-initial-exchange-deal-with-Israel-the-Qassam-Brigades-released-dozens-of-Israeli-prisoners-450x253.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5457\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">In the initial exchange deal with Israel, the Qassam Brigades released dozens of Israeli prisoners<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>Capture<\/h3>\n<p>Arbel Yehud was captured on October 7, 2023, from a fortified room in her home in Kibbutz Nir Oz. Her partner was captured alongside her.<\/p>\n<p>Hamas also captured her partner\u2019s brother, David Kono, his wife, Sharon Ayaloni Kono, and their twin daughters, who were later released under a truce agreement reached in November 2023.<\/p>\n<p>The family initially believed that Arbel\u2019s brother was also captured, but the &#8220;Eitan Unit&#8221; (responsible for locating missing persons) later found his body within the settlement.<\/p>\n<p>Released prisoners held by Hamas confirmed that Arbel was alive. Hamas and Israel agreed to her release, along with other Israeli female soldiers, in exchange for Palestinian prisoners as part of a ceasefire agreement signed on January 15, 2025.<\/p>\n<p>However, Arbel was not among those freed in the first phase of the prisoner exchange. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu\u2019s office stated that Israel would not allow Gaza residents to return to northern areas until arrangements were made for her release.<\/p>\n<p>Conversely, a senior Hamas source in Gaza told Al Jazeera that the resistance informed mediators that Arbel was alive and would be released on Saturday, February 1, 2025.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_8979\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8979\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-8979 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Al-Qassam-Brigades-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"prisoner exchange\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Al-Qassam-Brigades-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Al-Qassam-Brigades-390x220.jpg 390w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Al-Qassam-Brigades-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Al-Qassam-Brigades-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Al-Qassam-Brigades-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Al-Qassam-Brigades-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Al-Qassam-Brigades-450x253.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Al-Qassam-Brigades-1200x675.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Al-Qassam-Brigades.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-8979\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Al-Qassam Brigades<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>An Islamic Jihad official confirmed to Al Jazeera that Arbel Yehud remains in custody with Saraya al-Quds (the armed wing of the Islamic Jihad) as a soldier and trained member of the Israeli army\u2019s space program.
