KFAR SABA, Israel (AP) – as Israel has announced steps To increase human assistance In Gaza, a pre-Israel-Argentinian mortgage already knows what it can mean for prisoners Hamas terrorist group,
The Eyar Horn, who spent one and a half years in captivity, said hostage could tell when more assistance was available as they would get more food.
“When the food is low, it is also less for the hostages. When there is help, there is a possibility that you can find a cucumber,” Horn, 46 said.
Hamas terrorists kidnapped horn from their home Kibutaz Neer Oz, 250 with othersDuring an attack from cross -border border on 7 October 2023. He was released on 15 February after 498 days in captivity. For that time, he was held in an underground cell in an tunnel with several other hostages, including his younger brother Eaton Horn, 38.
Since its release, the Eyar Horn has postponed his recovery to fight for his brother’s release and the other 50 hostages are still being held in Gaza, of which 20 are still considered alive.
The conversation collapses again
Hearing Conversation between Israel and Hamas Once again frozen over the weekend, it was disastrous for his family, Horn said. Since his release, he has made four trips to the US, where He has met President Donald Trump And to request other American leaders for hostages.
He was not sure what to do a comment on Thursday by Trump Special Aids Steve WitchoffWho said We will consider “alternative options” After remembering the team of his conversation with Qatar.
“I am not a politician, and I am not going into those things because I don’t understand them. What I think is very simple: I want my brother back,” Horn said.
“My life is still frozen. I live in a nightmare that they are kidnapping me every day,” he said. The horn, which is single, is currently living with a family in Kefeer Saba near Tel Aviv. Earlier, he worked many types of jobs in Kibutz Neer Oz, including education, maintenance and kitchen. He also rushed Kibutz Pub.
Every morning when he opens his eyes, he should remember for a few moments where he is, to remember that he is no longer a hostage, Horn said.
He has gained some weight lost in captivity, but his list of physical and psychological diseases is long. He does not know where he will live, what he will do in the future, or if he will go back to Neer Oz. The only thing he focuses on is advocating her brother’s release.
“I never thought that another half year would pass without seeing my younger brother,” he said.
According to Gaza’s Health Ministry, the Israeli war in Gaza killed more than 59,700 Palestinians. The agency’s count does not distinguish between terrorists and citizens, but the ministry says that more than half of the dead are women and children. Look at the United Nations and other International Organization Ministry, which works under the government of Hamas, as the most reliable source of data on casualties.
Brothers kept together
Eyar Horn is the oldest of the three brothers who have grown up in Argentina. He moved to Israel at the age of 20, followed by his brother, Amos. Eaton and his parents, long divorces, later joined. On October 7, 2023, Eaton Iar was going to Kibutz Neer Oz at his home, when the siren began, warning of upcoming missiles.
Soon he received a conscious text messages from the fact that the terrorists had infiltrated the Kibutz. The terrorists entered Iyar’s house, where he was hidden in a safe room reinforced with Itan. Iyar tried to close the door until the terrorists started shooting through the door. Then he decided to surrender, worried that they could use grenade or strong weapons.
Iyar, who was immediately taken to Gaza, did not know what happened to his brother by the 50th day of his imprisonment, when the terrorists kept the two brothers together, and Iyar realized that Etan was also abducted.
Being together, even in their small, forbidden room, there was a stroke of luck, Irir said.
He said, “There is a lot of time to do nothing, and we talked a lot about our childhood, about primary school, about the youth movement, about football,” he said. “We tried to keep our understanding. He will ask me, have you brushed your teeth? And I will ask him, have you washed your bellybaton?”
He said, “These were foolish things, silly things between siblings that I do not yet have. Sometimes it happens to me now something happens to me that I have to tell him. And I can’t do it, and I can’t do it, and I am very sorry,” he said, started crying.
Prisoner hostage states that two will be issued
Most of the time, Horn Brothers were held with three other hostages. In early February, his prisoners came to a group of five and said two would be released.
“For four days, we are looking at each other and wondering if we can decide or impress the decision,” he said.
After four days, prisoners arrived with a small plate of snacks and a video camera. He announced that IAIR and another hostage would be abandoned and filmed between IAIR and Eitan. Hamas later released the video on his social media channels, as it is with other videos of hostages filmed under Durses.
His last night together, Itan and Iyar kept shoulder to shoulder in silence. “There was no conversation because you don’t want to talk in your head like this is your last conversation,” Iyar said.
When his mother, Route Chimil Stum, came to know that Iyar was coming out, but not a Iton, he said to anyone, who hears, “Why are you doing this with my sons? They are together and you are separating them?”
Nobody responded to him, but to expect that Itan would be released soon.
Now she ignores the news about most of the talks, tunes information to protect herself. He said that he raised his three boys “as the same body”, and their support for each other is unbreakable.
She holds Iyar’s hand because she sits together on the couch in her house and is ready for the day to return.
“I will embrace my three sons, enjoy life, each one supporting each other,” he said. “This will happen.”
