'Starvation and humiliation canāt be hidden': Despite Hamasā attempts to improve conditions before release, frail, starved hostages tell different story; Or Levy and Eli Sharabi unaware families murdered, while Ohad Ben Ami spent most of his captivity underground
Yael Ciechanover|2.8.25
After 491 days underground in Hamas captivity, Ohad Ben Ami, Eli Sharabi and Or Levy returned to Israel, frail and emaciated, with little knowledge of the devastation of October 7 or the fate of their families.
The three men, abducted in the early hours of the Hamas attack, spent most of their captivity underground, deprived of sunlight, communication and reliable information. Some were occasionally exposed to Al Jazeera broadcasts, but many details remained unknown.
Dr. Hagar Mizrahi, a senior Health Ministry official, described the long-term damage inflicted on the hostages.
"Hamas prepares the hostages for their staged release, trying to make them appear healthier," she said. "But starvation, humiliation and inhumane conditions leave lasting damage. Even those who appear physically well have suffered immensely and face severe long-term consequences from such prolonged captivity."

No one can now deny the evil that is Hamas.
Anyone seeing the pictures of emaciated Israeli hostages surely must finally realise what the Jewish state has been up against.

08 February 2025.
Two weeks ago the world commemorated the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz. In the years since 1945 the images of the inmates have become part of the fabric of history, documenting the evil of which some of our species are capable.
We may now be used to seeing them, but the pictures of starved, emaciated bodies, barely more than skeletons, have never lost the power to shock.
As a former editor of the Jewish Chronicle, I have had both to report and to confront anti-Semitism.
The battle against Jew hate has become the driving force of my professional life. Sometimes it has felt as though the Jewish people were banging our heads against a brick wall ā such as when the response of so many self-described āprogressivesā to the barbarity of October 7 has been to demonstrate not against the barbarity but against the victims of that barbarity.
In that context, I have spent time asking myself if the scenes in Gaza and the terrible state of the latest hostages to be released might cause them to indulge in some self-reflection, or even a sense of shame that they have been marching in support of the terrorists who inflicted this evil.
I doubt it. These are the people, after all, who we have now learnt applied to the police at 2.50pm on October 7 2023 for permission to march against Israel the following week ā making their application while the massacre was still in progress.
The footage of Eli Sharabi, Ohad Ben Ami and Or Levy could have come straight from 1945.
The only difference was the presence of their Hamas captors; the Nazis had fled the camps by the time they were liberated.
Hamas, on the other hand, stood proudly by as the emaciated, almost crippled bodies of the hostages were forced by their captors on to a stage to take part in the latest of the terrorist organisationās sick propaganda stunts.
I am not religious. But I know that evil exists and we have once more seen it on display.
Or Levy is just 33 years old. His only crime was to have gone to a music festival and to have been Jewish. Hamas murdered his wife and starved him for 491 days. There is only one word for the people that did this to him: evil.
Ever since October 7 we have heard glib platitudes from around the world about āpeaceā, about reaching an accommodation with Hamas and about Israel needing to accept a ātwo-state solutionā.
But there will be no peace ā indeed, there should be no peace ā when that necessitates accepting the presence of evil.
As Israelās president, Isaac Herzog put it: āThis is what a crime against humanity looks like. The entire world should look at Ohad, Or and Eli ā who returned from the hell of 491 days in captivity, painful, emaciated and wounded, and were used in a cynical and evil ritual by damned murderers.ā
Throughout the war brought on by Hamasās massacre we have been told by much of the media ā and by Hamasās useful idiots protesting on the streets and on campus ā that the real criminal is Israel.
Look at the aid shortages! The simple fact is that, far from blocking aid, Israel has gone out of its way to facilitate its arrival in Gaza.
But just as Hamas deliberately uses Palestinian civilians as human shields for its propaganda so it can accuse Israel of targeting civilians, so too it both blocks aid from being distributed (often destroying it) and seizes it for its own use.
If you want to see what real targeted starvation looks like, look at the pictures of the Israeli hostages.

āLook Like Holocaust Survivorsā: Three Israeli Hostages Released After 490 Days in Hamas Captivity.
Latest Developments.
Three Israeli Hostages Free: Israel welcomed home three hostages on February 8 who had been held captive in Gaza by the Iran-backed Hamas terrorist organization following its mass atrocities in Israel on October 7, 2023. Or Levy, 34, Ohad Ben Ami, 56, and Eli Sharabi, 52, were freed by Hamas in the fifth round of releases since the 42-day ceasefire agreement went into effect last month.
Emaciated and Unable to Stand: During Hamas-choreographed release ceremonies, the three Israeli hostages appeared emaciated and disoriented, and needed to be held upright by Hamas terrorists. Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saāar said āthe Israeli hostages look like Holocaust survivors and clearly appear to have suffered from starvation.ā Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahuās office vowed to take action over Hamasās parading of the frail hostages, releasing a statement that said āthe shocking images we saw today will not pass without response.ā Israeli President Isaac Herzog declared: āThis is what a crime against humanity looks like! The whole world must look directly at Ohad, Or, and Eliāreturning after 491 days of hell, starved, emaciated and painedābeing exploited in a cynical and cruel spectacle by vile murderers.ā
183 Palestinian Prisoners Released in Exchange: Israel released 183 Palestinian convicted terrorists on February 8, 18 of whom were serving life sentences, in exchange for the Israeli hostages. 111 of the released prisoners were detained over the course of the war in Gaza after the October 7 Hamas atrocities, and seven of the prisoners will be deported upon their release.
FDD Expert Response.
āRelief at seeing these hostages freed is overshadowed by anger and sorrow. Israel is forced to release Palestinian mass murderers, while its own hostages return to a nightmare. Eli Sharabiās wife and daughters, and Or Levyās wife, were brutally murdered on October 7. Their families now face unbearable grief atop unimaginable trauma. These stories make one thing clear: Hamas has no place in a civilized world. The U.S. must stand firmly with Israel to ensure these Iran-backed terrorists are never allowed to regain power.ā ā Mark Dubowitz, CEO.
āSeeing Israelis come home emaciated and barely able to walk is sending tremors through Israeli society as people are recalling images from the liberation of the Nazi concentration camps after World War II. While everyone in Israel is relieved to see hostages come home alive, it is clear that these hostages have survived severe degradation and abuse, and it raises fresh fear and trepidation regarding the fate and condition of remaining Israeli hostages held by Hamas.ā ā Enia Krivine, Senior Director of FDDās Israel Program and National Security Networks.

Ambassador Danon: 'Clear evidence of war crimes against hostages'.

Israel National News. Feb 9, 2025, 12:12 AM (GMT+2)
Israel's Ambassador to the UN Danny Danon sent an urgent letter to the UN Secretary-General AntĆ³nio Guterres regarding the dire physical condition of the three Israeli hostages released earlier today from Hamas captivity.
''Today, after 491 days in the cruel hands of Hamas, three more Israeli hostages have been releasedāEli Sharabi (52), Or Levy (34), and Ohad Ben Ami (56). Kidnapped, tortured, and starved, they emerge from captivity thin, traumatized, exhausted, and in paināvictims of a brutal and cynical spectacle orchestrated by Hamas,'' he began.
Danon detailed the fate of the hostages' families. ''Ohadās wife was also kidnapped and held captive for over 50 days before being released. Orās wife was brutally murdered by Hamas, as was Eliās familyāhis wife and two daughters were executed in cold blood by these inhuman terrorists.''
He turned to the hostages themselves. ''Since then, all the three were held in isolation, without any sign of life to their families, and denied humanitarian visits by the Red Crossāa blatant violation of international humanitarian law.''
Danon accused the UN of being manipulated by Hamas. ''For over a year, the international community has been manipulated by a jihadist terrorist group, shielded and protected even within the halls of the UN, spreading false propaganda about so-called "starvation" in Gaza.''
''But the images tell the truth: Hamas terrorists and the Gaza crowd gathered there to humiliate them appear in a very well condition, while the Israeli hostages alone bear the unmistakable signs of starvation. This is clear evidence of war crimes and blatant violations of international law by Hamas, evoking haunting images from not-so-distant historyāmoments when the world remained silent.''
Danon concluded with a demand for action. ''Hamas has committed crimes against humanity. I urge you to unequivocally and publicly condemn the inhumane treatment of these hostages and demand the immediate and unconditional release of all those still held in Gaza. The world has now seen the brutality firsthand. Silence is no longer an option.''
