WATCH: Freed hostage Emily Damari's Stadium Plea: "Make so much noise that it reaches Gaza"

The message resonated through Bloomfield's stands on February 3, uniting fans of both teams in a moment that transcended sports, reminding all present that while some hostages have returned, others still await rescue in Gaza.

Emily Damari made two powerful statements this week - when she returnied to her bullet-riddled home in Kibbutz Kfar Aza and when she appeared on Bloomfield Stadium's screens before the Maccabi Tel Aviv-Beitar Jerusalem match.

At Bloomfield, her message echoed through the stadium: "Make noise that will be heard all the way to Gaza," she urged fans, thanking Maccabi Tel Aviv while highlighting hostages still in captivity, specifically naming Gali and Ziv Berman.

Earlier that day, 485 days after her abduction, Damari posted from her damaged Kfar Aza apartment: "I'm back to the place where all my nightmares began... I've closed only a part of the circle. But like me, there are 79 more abducted who need to close their circle."

The 28-year-old British-Israeli, shot during her capture and held in UN facilities without proper medical care, used an emoji missing two fingers - reflecting her injuries. "I'll feel my real victory only when they return," she declared, referencing remaining hostages.

Her dual appearances - at home among bullet holes and support posters, then addressing thousands at Bloomfield - transformed both spaces into platforms for continued hostage awareness.

While celebrating her return, Damari emphasized the ongoing struggle to bring others home: "We can't stop here. We need to bring everyone including everyone home. The life for rehabilitation and the murdered for burial."
