TL;DR Summary

Judith Raanan, a Chicago-area mom, and her daughter were abducted by Hamas during an attack on Israel and were greeted as "prey" at a Gaza hospital. They were the first hostages to be released, and Raanan recounted the ordeal, including being held at gunpoint and fearing for her family's safety.

A United Nations envoy reported "reasonable grounds" to believe Hamas committed rape and other cruel treatment of women during the attack.
