It’s 2025, and the world just witnessed the mini-liberation of a concentration camp.Three Israeli hostages were freed in exchange for almost 200 Palestinian criminals sitting in Israeli jails.The images of those who escaped Gaza are chilling beyond words.The three hostages emerged emaciated, with sunken eyes and sallow skin.
They required assistance walking and could be seen dragged from one location to another by the masked Hamas terrorists flanking them on either side.Eli Sharabi, Ohad Ben Ami and Or Levy were civilians on Oct.7 and were taken by Hamas during its attacks on Kibbutz Beeri and the Nova Festival.
The brutality they experienced was beyond words.Sharabi left behind his wife and daughters hiding in their family’s bomb shelter; they would be found dead inside, clutching each other in death.Ben Ami was taken out of his home in his underwear along with his wife, who was returned in the first round of hostage releases in November of 2023.Levy had arrived at the Nova Music Festival just minutes before the attack began with his wife, Einav.They hid in a roadside bomb shelter as Hamas terrorists threw munitions inside.
One brave party-goer, Aner Shaprio, stood at the entrance and caught seven and threw them back before the eighth detonated and killed Shaprio.Throughout their almost 500-day captivity inside the dark and dank tunnels under Gaza, Sharabi and Levy were unaware of the deaths of their loved ones.During a ceremony that Hamas held before handing over the hostages to the International Red Cross, Sharabi spoke into the microphone and shared that he was looking forward to his reunion with his wife and children, unaware that they had been murdered 16 months ago.Following the release, Israeli society was shaken.Despite the dire conditions relayed by released hostages, the emaciated appearance of these three men drove home just how serious the situation is for the dozens of remaining live hostages.Even President Trump saw the Holocaust parallels.
