Horrifying Testimonies from Captivity. Or, Eli, and Ohad, Who Returned Yesterday – Accounts of the Hell in Gaza Captivity That Must Be Heard. Just reading this and all I want to do is hit the launch button of everything we have… turn it all to glass: The three were intentionally starved, going for long days without any food. Every few days, they were given a rotten pita, which they had to share with other captives who were with them. There were long, entire days without water. They didn’t drink, and one of the captives collapsed while in captivity—a traumatic event that made the others think he had died. All of them endured horrifying torture. The details are hard to process, but it is important to reveal what happens inside the tunnels. They were taken separately for brutal interrogations by their captors, who demanded information while inflicting severe physical abuse. The methods included choking, tying limbs, gagging with cloth to the point of suffocation, hanging them upside down, and inflicting burns using a heated object. Regarding the conditions of captivity: According to the testimonies, they were placed in a small room inside a tunnel where they could neither move nor stand and struggled to breathe. They spent long days in isolation. They remained barefoot throughout the entire period. One of the captives said, “They treated us like animals.” Only when it became clear that they were about to be released did the captors provide them with slightly more food so they could stand on their feet during the release.
