Or Levi was kidnapped from the Nova party and released after 491 days in Hamas captivity. Tonight (Thursday), he reconstructs for Channel 13 what he went through during his time in captivity and the difficult days he experienced there.

In his testimony, he describes the first time they tied him up: "I was in shock. I felt like a cattle carcass." He added, "I remember hearing the sound of the chains for the first time. I was in shock and then tears started falling. I felt like a cattle carcass." "It's a rough chain that hurts you. A very heavy chain with a very heavy lock."

Levi continued describing the horrors: "When they didn't have enough chains, they tied us together. And so I found myself chained to Eli-ah Cohen for weeks. But gradually we lost weight dramatically, and suddenly the chain became too big for us, so they tightened it more and more until it was really pressing on the leg. And where there used to be flesh, now it's literally down to the bone."
