Freed hostage Omer Wenkert reveals that he always knew when truce talks failed or when a senior Hamas operative was killed because his captors would take it out on him. Wenkert gives a detailed account of his time in captivity, including the moment he was kidnapped, the beatings he endured, and the conditions he lived in. Despite the hardships, Wenkert considers his release a victory and does not seek revenge against his captors. He hopes for the safe return of the remaining hostages and dreams of becoming a father.
