Israeli Hostage Shares Harrowing Experience in Hamas Captivity
Chen Almog-Goldstein recounts the emotional and physical torment during her 51-day captivity in Gaza, following a deadly Hamas attack.
- Chen Almog-Goldstein and her three youngest children were kidnapped by Hamas and held in Gaza for 51 days after her husband and eldest daughter were murdered.
- During captivity, they were subjected to emotional abuse, including being told they had been forgotten and were not allowed to cry.
- Almog-Goldstein described the living conditions as hellish, with limited food and water, and constant fear of being killed.
- The family was released in late November as part of a prisoner swap during a four-day truce in the ongoing war.
- More than 30,000 people have died in Gaza since the conflict began, with efforts to secure a ceasefire and release remaining hostages facing challenges.
