Freed 85-year-old grandma reveals what it’s really like in Gaza tunnels where hostages are held

In the midst of massacres and kidnappings, an 85-year-old Israeli grandmother abducted and freed by Hamas terrorists has revealed what it was like being held in the terrifying maze of tunnels under Gaza.

Kibbutz resident Yocheved Lifshitz, one of an estimated 220 hostages taken violently by Hamas on October 7, endured a nightmarish two weeks as a prisoner in what she called a “spider’s web” of tunnels underneath the Gaza Strip before being released late Monday with another woman, 79-year-old Nurit Cooper. “I’ve been through hell,” Lifshitz said, nearly whispering while talking to reporters at Ichilov hospital in Tel Aviv.

“They went rampant in our kibbutz,” she said of the terrorists who invaded her home at the Nir Oz kibbutz in southern Israel.

Previous reports said she was a peace activist and palistinian enabler prior to her abduction. We would call them collaborators in WWII.

Not surprising at all.

Kibbutzes are communes. Full of liberals, socialists, communists.

Hamas takes them hostage and treats them like royalty?

I call BS on this story.

I do not, for one minute, believe that this woman’s story represents the reality the vast majority of the hostages experienced. Some hostages were probably actually treated like that and then released as a PR campaign.

I agree with you. Didn’t want to.

She’s either brainwashed or speaking so nicely about hamas in order to save her husband.
Something is wrong here. Seems staged.

The young lady who was released a few days ago looked terrorized. She did not have a good experience. Not all were treated the same.

I saw what was probably that same pic of the young lady and her mother, and agree. She looked shell shocked.

Her husband is yet being held hostage and she has been advised what to expect if she speaks ill of Hamas.
