Gadi Mozes, an 80-year-old man who was freed from Hamas captivity, recounted his 15-month ordeal in which he was isolated, held in a small room, and forced to pace 7 kilometers a day. Mozes lost his partner during the attack and was unaware of his daughter's fate until his release. He described the chaotic handover to the Red Cross as moments of 'mortal fear.' Mozes expressed his hope to teach farming in Gaza once there is peace. Other hostages also shared their experiences, including the struggles with hunger and the efforts to stay optimistic.
