Yocheved Lifshitz, an 85-year-old Israeli woman, has been released by Hamas after spending 17 days in captivity. Lifshitz described the ordeal as a 'hell' and recounted being beaten while being transported on a motorcycle. However, she also stated that the Hamas fighters treated her and other hostages with respect, providing medicine, hygiene care, and medical examinations. Lifshitz's husband and over 200 other Israelis remain in captivity. Lifshitz is a peace activist who, along with her husband, helped sick Palestinians in Gaza get to hospitals in Israel.
