Female Israeli hostages played arm-wrestling with Hamas guard

An Israeli mother and daughter, who were recently held hostage and subsequently released from captivity in Gaza, have shared their experiences, detailing their surprise at the treatment they witnessed. In an interview aired on Israel’s Channel 12, they reported that their captors allowed them to exercise, taught new games to the children, including card games, and treated women with respect. Ajam, the daughter, described that she was given the nickname ’Salsabeel’. They added that one of the captors used a hand towel to avoid direct contact during a game of arm-wrestling.
