Hamas captivity survivor Guy Gilboa-Dalal is revealing painful and shocking moments from his time in Hamas captivity - during which the terrorists abused him continuously.
In an interview with Channel 12 News, Gilboa-Dalal described how a terrorist sexually assaulted him and then threatened his life. “He let me take a shower, and when I finished, he dragged me out and wouldn’t let me put my clothes back on. He took me back to their room and threw me onto one of their armchairs.”
“He started touching me all over my body. I froze. I told him, ‘You’re joking, right? This is forbidden in Islam.’ He put a gun to my head and a knife to my throat. He told me that if I told anyone - he would kill me,” Gilboa-Dalal recounted.
About two weeks ago, former hostage Rom Braslavsky revealed his own story for the first time in an interview on Channel 13's program “The Tube.” In a chilling testimony, he described severe torture, humiliation, moments of complete despair - and sexual assaults he endured in captivity.
“They took all my clothes - everything. They tied me up… while I was completely naked. I was crushed, dying, without food. I prayed to God - please, save me, get me out of this already. You just say to yourself, what the hell is happening here?” he said, noting that the terrorists’ goal was clearly to humiliate. “They wanted to break my dignity, and that’s exactly what they did.”
When asked whether these acts were repeated, he answered quietly: “Yes. It’s hard for me to talk about it. It was the worst part. Things that even in Hitler’s time weren’t done. You just pray it will end. Every day there was a new hell. Every blow, every night - I told myself, I survived one more day in hell, and tomorrow another one will come, and another one. It doesn’t end. I came back from a meeting with the devil.”
