Starved, without air or water: Hostages were murdered just hours before rescue, families told

Jerusalem Post

IDF Spokesperson Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari revealed that the hostages—kept in a tunnel with no air vents, showers, or toilets—were executed just hours before the IDF arrived to rescue them. Desperate to survive, they were given minimal food and lived in total darkness, illuminated only by a small flashlight powered by a generator.
