Yocheved Lifshitz was held captive for two weeks in Gaza by the Palestinian group.
TEL AVIV: An elderly Israeli hostage who was released by Hamas overnight said she had been beaten by fighters as she was taken into Gaza on Oct 7, but was then treated well during her two-week captivity in the Palestinian enclave.
“I’ve been through hell, we didn’t think or know we would get to this situation,” she told reporters, seated in a wheelchair outside the Tel Aviv hospital where she was taken following her release. “When I was on the bike, my head was on one side and the rest of my body on the other side. The young men hit me on the way. They didn’t break my ribs but it was painful and I had difficulty breathing.”
