On the third anniversary of the October 7 attacks, Israel is observing the tragedy that claimed the lives of 1,200 individuals and precipitated a devastating war in Gaza.
Among those reflecting on the events is Keith Siegel, a hostage who spent 484 days held by Hamas in Gaza. During his captivity, Siegel focused intently on preserving the details of his ordeal, mentally recording every location he was kept, the dates of his transfers, and the specific attacks or humiliations he endured or witnessed.
Does anyone know how many hostages are still being held? The article focuses only on Siegel, but the situation remains critical for many families.
Fourteen months of captivity is an unimaginable length of time. It’s hard to comprehend the psychological toll this exacted on him.
