Meet Edan Alexander, the last living American hostage in Hamas captivity
Fox News
More than 500 days after Hamas' brutal attack, Israeli American Edan Alexander is the last living U.S. citizen being held hostage in Gaza. The bodies of four deceased Americans also remain in Gaza.
In many ways, Alexander grew up like many American kids. He went to Tenafly High School, was a swimmer and loved the New York Knicks. All that separated him from most American teenagers was his frequent trips to Israel to visit family and the fact that he spoke Hebrew at home. Rachel Wolf is a breaking news writer for Fox News Digital and FOX Business.
After graduating from high school, Alexander decided he would enlist in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) rather than enroll in college.
