After two years of captivity by Hamas, recently released hostages have revealed the harsh and inhumane conditions they experienced in Gaza's underground tunnels.
From isolation and food deprivation to torture, their accounts paint a grim picture of the harsh reality of their captivity. According to Channel 12, Ariel Cunio was held in solitary confinement during his captivity, while his brother, David, was held with Nimrod Cohen and Eitan Horn in separate underground tunnels. David had no access to news or information, and only in a brief meeting with Yarden Mibas – after filming a Hamas video – did he learn that his twin brother, Eitan, had survived the October 7 attack. Gali and Ziv Berman were held in separate rooms, completely cut off from any form of communication.
Although they were in the same city, they did not know they would be reunited. According to witnesses, their captors spoke to them in Hebrew during their detention. Elkanah Bohbot spent most of his captivity chained in underground tunnels, losing all sense of time and space. On his wedding anniversary, he told his relatives, he asked a guard to let him take a bath.
Matan Angrest was wounded in the hands and fingers and subjected to painful treatment without anesthesia, causing him serious problems. Unlike other hostages, he was occasionally allowed to watch videos from Hostage Square, where he heard the words of his family. His mother described her son as having suffered “terrible torture in the first months, when he was considered a soldier.” Matan, she said, has nightmares with images of the beatings, kidnappings and abuse he suffered. “He has been through a lot. But he is here and we will focus on the positive.
He was in the tunnels for a long time, talking about heavy bombardment by the Israeli army, planes flying over the tunnel, walls falling next to them.” Avinatan Or was held in a camp in central Gaza, where his captors left him to starve to death. According to the initial medical report, he lost up to 40% of his body weight. He was completely isolated from other hostages and knew almost nothing about events in Israel after the Hamas invasion. Eviathar David’s father told Israeli media that his son suffered physical and psychological abuse while he was separated from another prisoner, Guy Gilboa-Dalal, two months ago.
Alon Ohel, for his part, remained chained in the same tunnel for nearly two years. He was moved to another location just 40 days ago, after a long march into the center of the Gaza Strip. The IDF said the move was intended to use him as a human shield to prevent the army from taking control of the city.
