More Israeli hostages are speaking out and breaking their silence on the torture they endured while in Hamas captivity, reports JNS:

An Israeli who was freed in February after more than a year of captivity in Gaza told dozens of foreign ambassadors in Vienna on Friday about his ordeal in the hands of Hamas terrorists amid starvation and extreme thirst.

“There were days when we received only a single pita. We begged our captors, even offering them massages. We pleaded for every crumb and collected each one,” Tal Shoham said in his speech at the United Nations offices in Vienna. Meanwhile, his captors “always had abundant food, including fresh vegetables and fruits.”
