Aunt of 12-year-old Eitan Yahalomi says the hostage children were threatened at gunpoint to keep quiet; father of 9-year-old Emily hand says she only whispers

The aunt of 12-year-old Eitan Yahalomi, who was freed on Monday evening along with ten other Israelis, told of the “horrors” that the hostages experienced after being abducted by the terrorist organization Hamas on October 7.

"I wanted to hope he'd have been treated well but apparently not, they're monsters. His father is still there, 160 people are still there,” Deborah Cohen said in an interview with the French BFM.


Cohen said the 12-year-old boy was beaten by civilians as soon as he arrived in Gaza on October 7, a few hours after being kidnapped, and throughout his captivity the terrorists had forced the child to watch brutal videos from the massacres at the Kibbutzim.

"Every time a child cried, the terrorists would threaten them with a gun to keep quiet," the aunt described the “horrors in captivity” that her nephew and others went through, though she herself has not yet seen Eitan but has spoken to his mother Bat Sheva.
