An Israeli woman who recently freed from captivity recounted the harrowing experiences of hostages held by Hamas militants following the October 7 attack. Goldstein-Almog, one of the freed hostages, disclosed that several abductees, including at least three victims, endured sexual assault and had their bodies desecrated during captivity.

Speaking to Kan, the Israeli public broadcaster, Goldstein-Almog shared firsthand accounts she had heard during her time in captivity, emphasizing that these horrific incidents occurred a few weeks after the initial kidnapping. The victims, she stated, were not only physically injured but left traumatized by the appalling acts of sexual assault and desecration.

"If they had been released earlier, they would have been spared. We also saw a guy who was beaten," Goldstein-Almog recounted, highlighting the urgent need for earlier intervention to prevent further atrocities.

The conflict originated when Hamas militants attacked Israel on October 7, resulting in a significant toll of casualties, including around 240 hostages. In response, Israel initiated a substantial aerial and ground offensive, causing extensive damage and claiming over 18,600 lives, predominantly women and children, according to Gaza's health ministry.

Despite the ongoing efforts, approximately 135 hostages are still believed to be held in Gaza, as Israeli authorities work towards their liberation. President Joe Biden recently met with relatives of American hostages held by Hamas militants, estimating that around eight U.S. citizens are currently among those held in Gaza.

The situation remains critical as international attention focuses on efforts to secure the release of the remaining hostages and bring an end to the devastating conflict.
