Family of hostage Eliya Cohen is told he’s held chained, with little food or daylight

In addition to the details unveiled Sunday about the brutal captivity conditions suffered by Alon Ohel in Gaza, the family of fellow hostage Eliya Cohen have also said they received harrowing information.

Cohen, who unlike Ohel is set to be released in the current first phase of the ceasefire and hostage deal with the Hamas terror group, has been chained throughout his time in captivity and gets very little food or daylight, his family has been told, according to Hebrew media reports.

The new details have been provided by hostages who recently returned from captivity after more than 15 months of being held by Palestinian terrorists.

Sigi Cohen, Eliya’s mother, tells the Israel Hayom daily that Or Levy and Eli Sharabi, who were released on Saturday in extremely poor physical shape, have said Eliya Cohen was held with them in tunnels, adding that she was rattled by the details and by the released hostage’s appearances, which show they’ve been “going through a Holocaust.”

She says Eliya is wounded in his leg and hasn’t received appropriate medical attention.

“It’s frightening to hear that they are abusing them now as well. They said they were abused recently,” Sigi adds, lamenting that there are 22 young men in captivity who aren’t slated for release in the current phase “and who aren’t being talked about.”

She calls for releasing all the captives, “no matter the price.”
