| Report: Hostage Matan Angrest is injured, being held in dark cellar, starved, tortured |
| 2025-03-05 |
| [IsraelTimes] Hostage Matan Angrest has been held for a long time in a dark cellar with little air, and is suffering from untreated severe burns and bruises as well as harm to his eyes as a result of injuries he sustained during his kidnapping from a burning IDF tank in Nahal Oz on October 7, 2023, Channel 12 reports. The account isn’t attributed to anyone but comes after many captives were released recently, including five female soldiers who have said service people are being tortured by Hamas for intelligence. It also comes a day after Angrest’s family published the first photo of him from captivity, from a video received from Hamas. The report says Angrest is forced to treat his injuries by himself, and that his Hamas captors are purposely starving him. Angrest’s father told the Kan public broadcaster earlier today that if the family feels like it is necessary, it will also publish the full video of Matan, which he contended will “shock the country.” “Matan’s face is completely broken, the boy is completely broken and this is just the face,” he said. “We know he treated his own body.” |
