Yarden Bibas, 34, was released on Saturday along with two other hostages being held by Hamas in exchange for 183 Palestinian prisoners held by Israel, as part of the Gaza ceasefire deal.
His wife Shiri and two young sons, Ariel and Kfir, were also kidnapped by Hamas during the 7 October 2023 attack.
Hamas claimed in November 2023 they had been killed in an Israeli air strike, without providing evidence. The Israeli military has not confirmed the report.
Shiri's sister Dana Silberman-Sitton told reporters at the Sheba hospital in central Israel the family would "no longer accept uncertainty".
