Yocheved Lifshitz, one of two hostages recently freed by Hamas, has described her ordeal after being kidnapped by the Palestinian militant group in the brazen October 7 attack, saying she “went through hell.”

With her daughter kneeling by the side of her wheelchair, the frail 85-year-old grandmother on Tuesday recalled the moment she was abducted by gunmen on motorbikes after militants broke into her home in the kibbutz Nir Oz.

“It was difficult but we will get through this,” Lifshitz told reporters at a news conference at the Tel Aviv hospital where she has been recovering since being freed.

    I mean, they’re a violent resistance group, but it seems they’ve tried to end the violence before. That doesn’t strike me as “having no interest in peace”, is what I’m saying. Committing terror and wanting peace aren’t mutually exclusive. Hell, the ANC also did it (though not at the same scale as Hamas).
