On October 7, a group of terrorists attacked homes in Kibbutz Be'eri and Kibbutz Nir Oz, resulting in multiple kidnappings and a murder. 12-year-old Oren Sharabi was hiding as the terrorists entered his home; he heard a gunshot and feared his father, who is still held captive, had been shot. In a separate incident, Nili Margalit, a 41-year-old nurse at Soroka Hospital, was taken from her safe room in Kibbutz Nir Oz by Gazan civilians who had breached the Israeli border. These civilians later sold her to Hamas. During her captivity, Margalit was forced to watch as Hamas destroyed Yarden Bibas’ hope and to partake in the manipulation of other hostages, including lying about their family members' fates. Agam Goldstein Almog, a 17-year-old, saw her father murdered before she was kidnapped and taken to Gaza, where she spent 51 days witnessing torture and sexual abuse of female hostages. Margalit was eventually released on November 30. The victims' accounts highlight the brutal tactics employed by Hamas, including the destruction of hostages' hope and the psychological warfare waged against them.

Nili Margalit, 41, was kidnapped from her home on October 7. She was taken by Gazan civilians who penetrated Israel through the broken fence, looted homes, some raped and murdered, so I guess she was lucky. She was brutally kidnapped by civilians who sold her to Hamas. She is a…
