A day after the first wave of the release of 13 hostages from Hamas captivity in Gaza, 12 News journalist Yael Odem brings testimonies of the captives who told what they went through in captivity, what they ate, and even about a lynching that was almost carried out on the way to their release.

According to the report in News 12, the captives said that in the last two weeks, the food supply in captivity ran out and they were forced to eat only rice.

In addition, the captives said that on the way to the Rafah crossing last night, in order to release them from captivity, dozens of Gazans threw stones at the vehicle in which they were staying. According to their testimony, there was a real fear in the vehicle that the incident would end in a lynching.

The captives said that contrary to the publications, they were not held together, and only today they heard for the first time about their relatives who were murdered.
