IDF Soldiers Released from Gaza Tell of Hunger, Bombings and Confinement
(Ha'aretz) Israeli media published testimonies from the four Israeli soldiers released from Hamas captivity on Saturday. Israel's Channel 11 reported that they said an older hostage cared for them in the early days of their captivity, ensuring they had food and showers. They later learned that this individual had been killed while in captivity. They say Hamas often moved them between locations, including within Gaza City, disguising them as Palestinian women. They stayed both in buildings and in tunnels. Channel 12 reported that at times, they went without food, and the constant threat of nearby IDF attacks caused significant fear. Some hostages were left without showers or sanitary conditions for months. 15 female spotters were killed at the Nahal Oz base during the Hamas attack, and 7 were taken into Gaza. Agam Berger remains in captivity. Ori Megidish was rescued by IDF forces in October 2023, and Noa Marciano was killed in captivity.
