Adina Moshe, who survived 49 days in Hamas captivity, shared disturbing details this morning (Thursday) in an interview with Galatz about the conditions in the tunnels of Gaza. In her testimony, Moshe described how she saw other hostages, including Yarden Bibas and Ofer Kalderon from Nir Oz, being held in cages. She shared the efforts she made to help them and her deep concerns for the fate of the hostages.
“There were cages there. I approached, and it was completely dark. I asked, ‘Why are you in a cage?’ and they said they didn’t know,” Moshe described. “When I asked if they had confronted Hamas – it turned out they had. During the kidnapping, they fought with Hamas.”
Moshe said she approached the platoon commander guarding them and asked him to bring Bibas and Kalderon to be with the other hostages. After two days, the commander brought them for an hour, and the next day for another two hours.
Regarding Yarden Bibas’ family, Moshe noted that Bibas knew he had left the shelter to face the Hamas members, while his wife, Yeri, and the children remained inside. “He said, ‘I really hope they didn’t enter, because all the terrorists who were in my house caught me and led me to the meeting point in the kibbutz, from where they took me to Khan Yunis,’” Moshe reported.
Moshe also shared memories of hostage Haim Peri, who died in captivity. She recounted an argument between them about how long they would remain captive, with Peri being more pessimistic and believing it would take two years until their release.
Moshe’s account provides troubling insights into the conditions of captivity and underscores the constant danger faced by the hostages. Her words highlight the urgency of finding a solution for their release, while considering the complexity of the situation and the risks involved in any action.
