   THREAD: Some notes on Avera Mengistu

   Avera Mengistu, 38, is an Ethiopian born Israeli civilian held hostage by Hamas in Gaza since 2014. He has a history of mental illness that exempted him from IDF service.

   In Sept 2014, he scaled the wall separating Israel from Gaza, and crossed into Gaza. He is believed to have been kidnapped afterwards.

   With the ceasefire, he is reportedly set for release soon.
