Over the past 160 days, a horrifying sequence of events has unfolded following the kidnapping of more than 350 individuals by Hamas terrorists. The Nova music festival, held on October 7th, turned tragic when Hamas militants slaughtered over 350 attendees in cold blood, marking one of the most harrowing massacres in recent history. Among the kidnapped, personal stories of horror and resilience have emerged. Danielle Aloni, a mother, alongside her daughter, was kidnapped, praying for divine intervention during her captivity. Noa Argamani and others have endured horrific torture over these 160 days. Evyatar, who attended the festival with friends, and numerous others, including Americans, remain in captivity for now 161 days, their families fighting tirelessly for their return. The international community has been urged to recognize and act against the inhumanity faced by the hostages, with some, like Judith, speaking out against the treatment they received, including acts against human dignity. The U.S. has pledged continued leadership in efforts to secure the hostages' release, as the world is called to not look away from this atrocity. Currently, 134 individuals are still held in Gaza.
The Hamas terrorists told Rimon, "You have two options: Either get released willingly or we'll drag you on the floor." For the rest of #WomensHistoryMonth, we're sharing reminders of what female hostages went through — and what some of them continue to experience. https://t.co/bunegB8kwD

Listened to Mia Schem, who was held captive for 54 days by Hamas. Although it is still difficult for her to talk about the horrors of her time in captivity, she made clear her struggle to regain hope. The U.S. will continue its leadership to bring home all of the hostages. https://t.co/pHVXFKVg4w
