One of the hostages, recently released from Gaza, revealed on Wednesday that he was held for nearly 50 days in an attic by a teacher from the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA).

The story was publicized on X by Channel 13 journalist Almog Boker.

The hostage also said that the teacher who held him captive was a father of 10 children. He had barely been provided food or medical attention, and was locked away by the teacher, he said.

    Seems the years long rumors of social organizations being infiltrated by jihadists are true. Explains reports of hamas rushing to hospitals with hostages, only for doctors to later say hamas was never there, as well

      Interesting that posts where anti-Hamas views are upvoted get removed (the post that was just removed about 9-month old Kfir Bibas being killed in captivity), but the posts where anti-Hamas views get downvoted stay up. Funny that.

        The modlog says it was removed because of a violation of rule 1, (presumably the part about titles not matching.)

        They are very similar. Replacing her name with her age warranted removal? I think that’s a shame because there was a lot of good discussion going on there that is now lost.

        Edit: It’s still visible on kbin for the moment.

              If it gets removed again please report the mod to admins. he is clearly taking sides with his comments and while the first time he deleted the post could be a mistake. if he deletes it again it’s clearly because he has an agenda and is censoring things that don’t go along with it.

                i checked my own user in the modlog and it’s clearly too late. I’m out of this antisemitic shithole.

      While there are unconfirmed reports like school field trips to the tunnels the radicalization of gazan children is documented on videos where the teachers make them chant about killing jews.
