1:36Now PlayingElderly hostage freed by Hamas details beatings, says terrorists were ‘friendly in their own way’
YouTube Description
as posted by the channelElderly Israeli hostage Yocheved Lifshitz, 85, who was released by Hamas overnight said she was beaten by militants as she was taken into Gaza on Oct. 7, but was then well-treated during her two-week captivity in the Palestinian enclave.
One of the two elderly Israeli hostages released by Hamas terrorists late Monday turned back to wish for peace for her captors — who she said were “friendly in their own way” even though they put her “through hell.”
Yocheved Lifshitz, 85, was seen turning back to one of the masked gunmen handing her to Red Cross employees at Gazah’s Rafah Crossing more than two weeks after she was beaten and abducted during a slaughter at her kibbutz.
Video of the exchange showed her reaching out her hand and wishing him “shalom,” a Hebrew word meaning “peace” often also used to say goodbye.
Asked at a press conference Tuesday why she took the terrorist’s hand, Lifshitz generously claimed that “they were gentle with us, our needs were supplied” in captivity — despite describing the horrors she was put through when she was beaten and taken to Gaza.
“They were friendly in their way,” she said.
