Horrific Details Emerge of Murdered Hostages Days in Captivity
New information has come to light regarding the inhumane treatment of six Israeli hostages, who were executed by Hamas terrorists last week.
According to N12 News, hostages Hersh Goldberg-Polin, Eden Yerushalmi, Carmel Gat, Almog Sarusi, Alexander Lobanov, and Ori Danino were held in dire conditions within Hamas’ vast underground terror tunnel network beneath Gaza for nearly 11 months.
With no ventilation they struggled to breathe in the stagnant air of the tunnels. Darkness enveloped them constantly, broken only by the dim light of a small generator-powered flashlight.
Basic hygiene was impossible to maintain as the hostages had no access to showers or toilets underground. Instead, they were forced to wash with whatever little water they were given. Being provided barely enough food to keep them alive led to significant weight loss. Eden had weighed just 80 pounds before she was murdered.
Personal items belonging to the six hostages, such as a chessboard and notebooks, are being returned to the families. These are painful reminders of the struggle their loved ones made to retain some sense of normalcy amid the horror.
Forensic evidence from the tunnel suggests that Hersh, Ori, Alex, and Almog defended Eden and Carmel before being executed.
The IDF believes that 97 hostages abducted by Hamas on October 7 still remain in Gaza, including the bodies of at least 33 confirmed dead.
