Yocheved Lifshitz, one of two hostages recently freed by Hamas, has described her ordeal after being kidnapped by the Palestinian militant group in the brazen October 7 attack, saying she “went through hell.”

With her daughter kneeling by the side of her wheelchair, the frail 85-year-old grandmother on Tuesday recalled the moment she was abducted by gunmen on motorbikes after militants broke into her home in the kibbutz Nir Oz.

“It was difficult but we will get through this,” Lifshitz told reporters at a news conference at the Tel Aviv hospital where she has been recovering since being freed.

    Is that why she thanked and shook hands with her captors? Source

      To Haaretz and American news they “went through hell” to other reputable outlets they were treated with dignity and care.

      Which is it?

        It’s almost like they were part of a hellish massacre where they watched people die, were beaten and terrified for their lives before they became prisoners and were treated appropriately. It’s almost like they’re describing different parts of their experience in different ways because they were very different.

        Nah, that can’t be it. Must be some sort of a conspiracy.

          The point is the vastly biased reporting. This title it’s extremely misleading.
