American rock singer David Draiman of the band Disturbed met with the freed hostage, Yarden Bibas, in Tel Aviv on Tuesday.
Draiman arrived in Israel directly from England, where he appeared at the farewell concert by Black Sabbath.
Bibas, whose wife and children were killed by Hamas terrorists, was released from Gaza captivity on February 1.
Draiman wrote on social media after the meeting, "Great to see my friend #YardenBibas here in Israel. This man is the living embodiment of strength and perseverance. One of the sweetest and purest human beings on the planet. The very best of us. Anything, anytime, anywhere, achi (my brother). "
Draiman had made a video for Bibas after his family's funeral
Disturbed frontman David Draiman expressed his sympathies with Yarden Bibas following the funeral of his wife and children, who were murdered in Hamas captivity.
The funeral service for Shiri, Ariel, and Kfir Bibas, which took place at the cemetery near Moshav Tzahor in the Eshkol Regional Council, included, among other things, a recording of the song Hold On to Memories by the alternative metal band Disturbed.
David Draiman, the band's lead singer, responded on his Instagram account.
Draiman filmed a video for his story in which he said: "Dear Yarden, hello my brother. I am so sorry for your loss. The entire people of Israel weep with you today. Hold on to the memories of your family. Hold on to the memories of your children and your beloved wife. We will all do this. They will remain in our memory. May the memories of your children and your beloved wife be a blessing to you, always. Am Israel Chai. Be strong."
