Six Murdered Hostages Had Trouble Breathing and Were Starved
(Ynet News) Yael Ciechanover - The families of the six Israeli hostage found murdered in a Rafah tunnel received a report from the IDF about their loved ones' ordeal. According to the findings of the National Center of Forensic Medicine (Abu Kabir), the hostages were murdered roughly 24 hours before the IDF reached the site. Their bodies bore gunshot wounds and clear signs of severe neglect. They hadn't bathed for an extended period, and one victim had marks indicating they had been bound. Israel's Channel 12 reported that the hostages were confined in an exceedingly narrow tunnel that was too low to stand up in. The tunnel lacked air vents, making breathing difficult. The captives had no access to toilets or showers, relying on water bottles for both drinking and rudimentary washing. The captives were starved, leading to drastic weight loss. Despite these dire conditions, the hostages managed to survive 330 days in captivity. All six hostages were found with gunshot wounds to the head and other parts of their bodies.
