Israeli Ex-Hostage Confronts Hamas Chief in Gaza Tunnel, Demands Accountability

Yocheved Lifshitz, an 85-year-old Israeli woman who was held hostage by Hamas in Gaza, revealed that she confronted Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar during her captivity, questioning him about his violent actions against peace activists. Sinwar remained silent in response. Lifshitz, a peace activist who had supported Palestinians in accessing medical care, was released after two weeks, but her husband, Oded, remains in captivity. Lifshitz described her ordeal as "hell" but acknowledged that her captors treated her and the other hostages with relative gentleness.
