🧵🔴 MUST READ: Horrifying testimonies from the captivity of Or Eli and Ohad, who returned yesterday - testimonies that must be heard about the hell of captivity in Gaza
The three were deliberately starved, going for long days without any food at all. Every few days, they were given rotten pita bread, which they were forced to share with other hostages who were with them. Long days passed without being given water. They did not drink, and one of the hostages collapsed in captivity - a traumatic event that the hostages who were with him thought he was dead.
They all went through horrific torture. These things are difficult to describe, but telling what happens in the tunnels is essential. They were taken separately for brutal interrogations by the terrorists, who demanded information from them while undergoing severe physical abuse. We are talking about strangulation, tying of limbs, blocking of the mouth with cloth - to the point of suffocation, hanging by the legs, and burns inflicted on them with a hot object.
Regarding the conditions of captivity: According to the testimonies, they were put in a small room inside a tunnel where they could not move, let alone stand, and had difficulty breathing. They were left alone for long days. They were barefoot the entire time. One of the abductees said: "We were treated like animals."
It was just that when it was clear that they were going to be released, the terrorists provided them with a little more food so that they would be able to stand on their feet during the release.
