"Israeli Doctor Reveals Horrific Abuse of Hostages in Gaza"

Hostages taken by Hamas during the attack on Israel were drugged and subjected to psychological and sexual abuse, according to an Israeli doctor. The hostages, including children, were given benzodiazepines and ketamine to keep them docile. They were also subjected to psychological torment, including being shown brutal videos and being told false information about their loved ones. Some hostages experienced self-harm and suicidal thoughts, while others continue to suffer from dissociative states. The mental health toll is staggering, with around 400,000 people in Israel expected to suffer from symptoms of PTSD. Plans are underway to create a center to treat PTSD following the attack.
