The <em>Times of Israel<\/em> reported that\u2063 12-year-old Eitan \u2064Yahalomi, a dual citizen\u200b of Israel\u200d and France, was among \u200bthose \u2064beaten. \u2063Yahalomi&#8217;s \u2062aunt revealed that Hamas &#8220;monsters&#8221; and other Gazans assaulted him and\u2063 forced him to watch videos of their \u200dbrutal \u2062Oct. 7 massacre. The terrorists\u2063 even threatened him\u2064 and other children with rifles\u200b to keep them silent.<\/p>\n<p>Upon their release, the hostages were found to be suffering from malnutrition, electrolyte imbalances, and substantial weight\u2062 loss, as\u2062 reported by the Israeli newspaper <em>Maariv<\/em> and the <em>Times of Israel<\/em>. They were\u2062 forced to sleep\u2063 on rows \u2062of chairs tied together and had \u200cto wait for hours to \u200buse the bathroom.<\/p>\n<p>Hamas has released \u200d81 of \u2064its 240 hostages, including 60\u200c Israelis and\u2064 21 foreign nationals, \u200din exchange\u2062 for the release of 150 Palestinian prisoners by Israel. All of the hostages were\u200c held \u2062captive for at least 50 days. The <em>World<\/em> reported that the terrorists only allowed \u2062the hostages to wear a change of clothes on the day of their release in \u2062an \u2063attempt to deceive observers into thinking they were \u2063well-cared for.<\/p>\n<p>It appears \u200dthat Hamas kept the hostages in its extensive network of Gaza tunnels, as described \u200dby Adina Moshe, who\u2062 had to readjust to \u2062sunlight after being \u2064in darkness for seven weeks.\u2063 Some \u2062hostages\u2063 required serious medical care upon their release, including 84-year-old Alma Abraham, who faced a\u2062 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/fda-lifts-restriction-on-remote-prescriptions-of-abortion-drugs\/\" title=\"FDA Lifts Restriction on Remote Prescriptions of Abortion Drugs\">life-threatening condition<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Disturbingly, Hamas\u2063 forced \u200cthe released hostages to perform scripted\u2063 acts while\u200b being \u2062handed over to the\u200b Red Cross, aiming to portray themselves as \u200cthe &#8220;good \u200bguys.&#8221; This propaganda \u200deffort has unfortunately found support among certain left-wing\u200b Americans, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/top-federal-reserve-officials-with-known-links-to-china-still-have-their-jobs-senate-republican-report-says\/\" title=\"Top Federal Reserve Officials With Known Links To China Still Have Their Jobs, Senate Republican Report Says\">including government officials<\/a>, \u2063powerful think tanks, university students, and professors, as\u2063 documented by the <em>Washington Free Beacon<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> What were \u2062some of the basic \u200dnecessities\u2062 that hostages were deprived of while being held captive by Hamas?<\/h2>\n<p><span>  Ing in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/u-s-paralympic-gold-medalist-swimmer-accused-of-raping-teammate\/\" title=\"U.S. Paralympic Gold Medalist Swimmer Accused of Raping Teammate\">severe physical injuries<\/a>. They were deprived of basic necessities such as food, water, \u200dand proper \u200cmedical care. \u2062Many of them were confined \u200din small, overcrowded cells with little to no ventilation. The hostages also reported being subjected\u2063 to emotional \u2064and psychological torture, including constant threats,\u2062 humiliation, and verbal abuse.<\/p>\n<p>One hostage, \u200cwho wishes to remain anonymous \u2062for their\u2062 own safety, recounted the \u2062horrifying experience \u2063of being held captive by Hamas for several months.\u200b They described being blindfolded and restrained for most \u200dof their time in captivity,\u200b constantly in fear\u2063 for their\u200d life. \u2062The hostage mentioned witnessing other hostages being tortured\u200d and even killed by their captors.<\/p>\n<p>Not only \u2064were\u2063 the hostages subjected\u200b to physical \u2063and psychological abuse,\u200d but \u200dthey were also used as bargaining chips \u200dby Hamas.\u200c The terrorist group\u200c demanded the \u2063release\u200d of their \u200down members in exchange for the freedom \u200dof the hostages. This blatant disregard for the value\u200b of\u200b human life is deplorable and further highlights the immoral \u200cnature of Hamas.<\/p>\n<p>These shocking accounts shed light \u200don the \u2062true nature of Hamas, an organization that claims to\u200b fight\u2063 for Palestinian rights but\u2062 instead inflicts terror and suffering upon\u2062 its own people.\u200c The\u2064 international \u200ccommunity must condemn such actions and hold Hamas accountable for\u2062 its crimes against humanity.<\/p>\n<p>The United Nations and other relevant international bodies have a \u2064responsibility to \u200binvestigate these \u200ballegations and bring justice to the\u2064 victims of Hamas captivity. The\u2062 systematic abuse and mistreatment of hostages cannot go unpunished. It\u2062 is essential that those\u2063 responsible for these crimes face consequences for\u200b their\u200d actions.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore,\u200b countries around the world should reassess their relationship with Hamas and take decisive actions to isolate and condemn the group. Providing support or legitimacy to\u200b an \u200dorganization \u200bthat systematically abuses and tortures \u2062its own people \u200dis not only ethically wrong\u200c but also undermines \u200defforts\u200c for peace and \u2064stability in \u200dthe\u200d Middle \u200bEast.<\/p>\n<p>In\u2064 conclusion, the horrific \u200cconditions endured by\u200b hostages released from Hamas \u2063captivity illustrate\u2062 the barbarity and disregard for human life \u2063that \u2062this \u2063terrorist group represents. The accounts of \u200btorture, abuse, and neglect highlight the urgent need for justice, accountability, \u2064and international condemnation. It is crucial that the international community takes a strong stand against Hamas and works towards dismantling this brutal organization\u200b for the sake of peace, justice, and the protection of human rights.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hamas, the terrorist group responsible for the Oct. 7 massacre of Israeli civilians and subsequent war, released some hostages recently.
