Hamas captors said to have tormented Yarden Bibas with incessant talk of wife, kids

Released hostage Yarden Bibas was tormented by his Hamas captors about the fate of his wife and children during his 16 months in captivity. Bibas, along with two other hostages, was released on Saturday as part of a ceasefire-hostage deal. Bibas was subjected to grave psychological abuse and was compelled to film a video after being told that his family had been killed. The hostages were frequently given false hope by their captors, who would taunt them and withhold food. So far, 13 Israelis have been released as part of the deal, with more to follow.
