Sunday Times – They thought they were about to be executed, Then: freedom 

An Israeli family’s account of spending seven weeks underground as hostages of Hamas leads The Sunday Times, following the family’s return to Israel.

An image on the front page shows Yoni Asher being reunited with wife Doron, daughters Raz, 4, and Aviv, 2, after the three were seized by Hamas on 7 October from a home in Kibbutz Nir Oz, in southern Israel. 

Meanwhile, at the top of the paper, previews of claims alleged to feature in a new book out next week by royal biographer Omid Scobie feature. The author has criticised some reports of the book, claiming not all the reported passages are accurate.
