Eighty-five year-old Yocheved Lifschitz spoke of a “hell that we never knew before and never thought we would experience” as she described the harrowing assault on her kibbutz by Hamas militants and the terror of being taken hostage into the Gaza Strip.

Yocheved Lifshitz, 85, who was held hostage in Gaza after being abducted during Hamas' bloody Oct. 7 attack on Israel, speaks to members of the press a day after being released by Hamas militants, at Ichilov Hospital in Tel Aviv, Israel, Tuesday, Oct. 24, 2023.

Israel’s military has launched a devastating war on Gaza in an effort to crush Hamas and its airstrikes into Gaza after the attack have killed more than 5,000 people, according to the Hamas-led Gaza Health Ministry. Lifshitz’s captors hustled her onto a motorcycle, removed her watch and jewelry and beat her with sticks, bruising her ribs and making it difficult to breathe, she said.

The people assigned to guard her “told us they are people who believe in the Quran and wouldn’t hurt us.”
