"Israeli Ex-Hostage Recounts 'Psychological Warfare' in Hamas Captivity"
Doron Katz Asher and her two daughters were held hostage by Hamas for 50 days, enduring psychological warfare and witnessing the murder of Asher's mother during their capture. They were initially told by their captors that no one in Israel cared for their release, a claim Asher disbelieved. The hostages were kept in a facility disguised as a hospital before being released as part of a prisoner exchange during a temporary truce. Asher is now seeking normalcy for her family and awaiting the release of her mother's partner, who remains in captivity.
