Released Hostage Describes Israel’s Failure to Rescue Captives

Eli Sharabi, a recently released hostage from Hamas captivity, shared his harrowing experience with Israeli TV. He stated that military operations cannot rescue hostages and described the dire conditions he and others faced during their imprisonment.

Sharabi recounted that they survived on minimal calories – around 250-300 per day for months. The harsh conditions were reportedly influenced by Israel’s treatment of Palestinian prisoners as depicted in media, according to Sharabi.

His account sheds light on the challenges facing hostages’ families and the limitations of military interventions in such situations.
