US EditionMossad chief to continue hostage talks in Qatar, source tells 'Post'
- An Israeli man in his early 40s who also holds Austrian citizenship was taken hostage by Hamas in Gaza, following his abduction on October 7, 2023, at Kibbutz Be'eri, and remained captive for 505 days.
- He endured captivity divided between apartments in northern Gaza and underground tunnels, facing beatings, starvation, and threats while initially uncertain about the safety of his family.
- About seven weeks after being taken captive, Shoham was given a letter from his wife confirming that she and their children were safe, a message he credits with strengthening his resolve to endure the difficult conditions.
- Shoham lost 60 pounds during captivity, learned Arabic to reduce risks with captors, and upon his release in February 2024 as part of a ceasefire deal, he urged swift action to free 59 remaining hostages.
- He fears the remaining hostages face imminent danger if not freed soon and refuses to disclose all captivity details to avoid risking others’ lives while his family and he recover from the ordeal.
