Disturbing details about the conditions that released hostage Edan Alexander endured in captivity in Gaza were revealed only hours after his release, Kan News reported. According to his initial testimony, Alexander endured severe torture in Gaza, mainly during lengthy interrogations, as well as physical violence and psychological terror. He was confined to a metal cage for an extended period of time, shackled by his hands and feet. When he was released, he required assistance to walk due to the long period he was shackled. He was deliberately starved while in captivity and endured extreme hunger. Iin recent months, as the Trump administration engaged in efforts for his release, he was provided with more food. Throughout his captivity, he was held alongside other hostages in a dark tunnel in southern Gaza, without any access to sunlight. His Hamas captors referred to him as “the American.” Alexander was the last living hostage in Gaza with US citizenship. (YWN Israel Desk – Jerusalem)
