Sharon Cunio Aloni

Sharon works as a personal advisor to the head of the Eshkol Regional Council, Gadi Yarkoni. Her daughters, the three-year-old twins Yuli and Emma, are the love of her life. She met her partner David Cunio while doing PR work on a film where he played the lead role. The two fell in love and have been together since.
On the morning of October 7th, eight members of the Cunio family were kidnapped from Kibbutz Nir-Oz to the Gaza Strip. Sharon (34) and David (33) Cunio were kidnapped along with their twin daughters; Sharon's sister, Daniel (44), and her daughter, Emilia (5), who had come to spend the holiday, were also taken; David's brother, Ariel Cunio (28), his partner, Arbel Yehud (28), and her brother, Dolev Yehud (35), were taken hostage as well.
On that morning, family members began messaging Sharon and David when missile alerts were heard in various parts of the country. At first, Sharon said that they were safe in the shelter room. An hour later, Sharon wrote that they could hear terrorists in her neighbor’s house. Half an hour later, she texted that the terrorists were in her house and she wasn’t sure they were going to make it. An hour and a half later, Sharon sent a voice message that the terrorists had set the house on fire, and smoke was getting under the door of the shelter room. The last message was at 11:20 a.m.
Later that day, a TikTok video showed David, Sharon, and one of the twins in the back of a pickup truck with armed Hamas terrorists.

Sharon and the twins were released on November 27 from Hamas captivity as part of a temporary cease-fire deal. Sharon’s sister, Daniel, and daughter,Emilia, were released three days earlier.
David, Ariel, Arbel and Dolev are still held hostage. Sharon is tirelessly campaigning for their release; theirs, and all the other hostages who are still held in Gaza.
