Boker's report also cites another hostage saying that he was held by a Gazan doctor as he was treating children patients.

One of the hostages, recently released from Gaza, revealed on Wednesday that he was held for nearly 50 days in an attic by a teacher from the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA).

The story was publicized on X by Channel 13 journalist Almog Boker.

The hostage also said that the teacher who held him captive was a father of 10 children. He had barely been provided food or medical attention, and was locked away by the teacher, he said.

    Newspaper is not the source. Almog Boker at Channel 13 is. Look at the original tweet.

    But keep up the mental gymnastics to defend Hamas and the corrupt UNRWA.

    In 2019, Channels 10 and 13 merged with Channel 10 shutting down and some of its programming and staff joining Channel 13. Now all that remain are Keshet 12 and Channel 13 (internal citations omitted). These channels are largely centrist and balanced in their coverage featuring both right and left-wing views in broadcast debate. While the content of their broadcasting may somewhat shift depending on factors such as if Israel is at war or if major protests are occurring, they generally maintain a neutral standing.

      World got sick like that. Some people even say Bin Ladin was cool guy and it was good thing to do 9/11 so I’m not surprised by counter reactions to within this thread disproving hostages testimony if they are not with the terrorists.
