Israeli women and childrenupon their return after being deprived of their freedom by Hamas, claim that they were beaten and threatened with death, moved from one place to another and forced to speak in a whisper for several weekstheir families assure.
Most of the hostages released during the six-day truce were rushed to hospitalsin a country still reeling from the shock of kidnappings during the October 7 Hamas attack, which Israel claims 1200 people died.
Danny Brom, director of METIV, the Israel Center for Trauma, said some will need medical attention and others will not. Many will have to talk and “a sense of control needs to be restored,” he stated and explained.
People who have experienced terrible things are not sick. They need to deal with it, they need space, time and a warm environment to do it, but not necessarily in a medical environment.
Since the round of releases began, the freed Israeli hostages have stayed away from the media.
Their stories came to light through the filter of family members without independent verification, hinting at their ordeal. Most of the 240 hostages Israel said were taken on October 7 are still being held captive.
Deborah Cohen he told French television BFM who was told that his 12-year-old nephew Eitan Yahalomi and others were beaten by Gazans upon arriving in the enclave following a Hamas attack. In addition, he noted that the kidnappers forced him to see footage of violence by the militant group.
Every time the child cried, they threatened him with a gun to keep him quiet. When they arrived in Gaza, all the civilians, they all beat them… We are talking about a 12-year-old boy.
Hamas describes its treatment of the hostages as humane and says it treated them in accordance with Islamic teachings to preserve their lives and well-being.

I had to put my ear to his mouth to hear. While in captivity he was told not to make any noise. You can see the horror in his eyes.
Upon his return, he was told that Narkis, Hand’s ex-wife who had helped care for Emily, had been killed on October 7th.
Last night he cried until his face turned red and he couldn’t stop. He didn’t want any consolation; he had probably forgotten how to console himself. He crawled under the blanket, covered himself and cried quietly.
