More including details at the link. I did not read further — this is more than enough for me to know, and I certainly don’t need more motivations to want them all dead as quickly as possible. [IsraelTimes] Danny Elgarat says contrary to earlier estimate, his brother didn’t die of a heart attack during interrogation but bore signs he was ‘brutally murdered’ by his terrorist captors
Israeli hostage Itzik Elgarat was tortured to death by his Hamas captors and did not die of a heart attack during an interrogation as had originally been believed, his brother Danny Elgarat said on Thursday, citing autopsy findings.
Itzik Elgarat, 68, was in his Kibbutz Nir Oz home on the morning of October 7, 2023, when Hamas terrorists attacked. They shot him through his safe room door, injuring him, and took him captive. He was among 251 people abducted from Israel when the terror group led thousands of gunmen in a devastating invasion of southern Israel that also killed 1,200 people.
In June, Danny Elgarat told lawmakers during a Knesset House Committee that intelligence officials believed his brother had “suffered a heart attack during interrogation under torture.”
But on Thursday, after receiving the results of his older brother’s autopsy, Elgarat said it contradicted the previous version of events.
“Itzik did not die of a heart attack! Today, after my brother’s autopsy, things are clear,” he wrote on X.
“Itzik did not die of a heart attack,” he repeated. “Itzik was tortured to death during an interrogation.”
Sex abuse, dehumanization: Health Ministry report to Red Cross details accounts of freed hostages
[IsraelTimes] A report published by the Health Ministry that will be forwarded to the president of the Red Cross reveals the physical and mental damage suffered by 12 of the hostages who were freed at the beginning of this year, including accounts of ongoing sexual harassment, dehumanization and life-altering injuries.
The report (Hebrew link) paints a harrowing picture of severe patterns of abuse, medical neglect and subhuman conditions that constitute torture and serious violations of international humanitarian law.
The ministry calls for the immediate provision of food, water and medical treatment to the abductees who are still in captivity.
An analysis of the medical condition of the hostages still being held captive shows that they are “in immediate danger, and every additional day there increases the risk of irreversible damage to their physical and mental health.”
