Bat-Sheva Yahalomi gave an interview to AFP to recount the mistreatment suffered by her son Eitan, freed from Hamas after 52 days. Eitan was kidnapped on October 7 with his mother and two sisters, aged 10 and 2, from their home on Kibbutz Nir Oz in southern Israel.
“He was beaten when he arrived, then they put him alone in a cell with bars and he remained alone for 16 days under the guard of armed men from the (Palestinian Islamist movement) Hamas,” says his mother.
