The Unfolding Horror of Hamas in Gaza
(JNS) Dr. Fiamma Nirenstein - Israeli hostages Eli Sharabi, Ohad Ben Ami and Or Levy, freed on Feb. 8 from Hamas captivity, emerged as specters of their former selves - emaciated, pale, and visibly broken - as Hamas paraded them before the cameras. Sharabi learned from his captors that his older brother, Yossi, also a hostage, had been murdered in captivity. Upon his return to Israel, he learned that his wife and two daughters were murdered on Oct. 7. Ben Ami's mother lamented that he now looked like an 80-year-old man. Or Levy had been covered in his wife's blood at the Nova music festival, where she was murdered. This latest group underscores that Hamas is an embodiment of cruelty at its most extreme. For Israel, the urgency to eliminate Hamas has only intensified.
