Gaza strips: Hamas Geiseln about cruel details of their captivity

After the release of three other Israeli hostages of the Islamist Hamas in the Gaza Strip, frightening details about the circumstances of their hostage have become known. Or Levy’s brother reported that the 34-year-old was “hungry for 16 months, barefoot and in constant fear”. Levy was released on Saturday with two other men as part of a ceasefire agreement with Hamas. The pictures of the emaciated, weak hostages caused horror in Israel.

Israeli media reported that one of the men had been chained and spent almost the entire time in a dark tunnel. He was neither right nor left.

Levy only found out about his wife’s death at the Hamas massacre on October 7, 2023. On a moving reunion, Levy was able to hug his surviving three-year-old son. The hostage Eli Scharabi also didn’t know that he lost his wife, daughters and his brother.

The medical professor Hagai Levine responsible for hostages spoke of “brutal, inhumane conditions” of Hamas-Geisellich. The remaining hostages in the Gaza Strip are in “immediate danger to life,” he warned, demanding their immediate release.

The examinations of the freed hostile results would have had alarming results. Some of them suffered from extreme malnutrition and multiple organ damage. In hostile, they had experienced “extremely bad hygiene, lack of fresh air and sunlight” as well as extreme physical and psychological abuse by the kidnapper, said Levine. He warned of serious physical and mental consequences.
