Almog Meir Jan has said that he, Andrey Kozlov and Shlomi Ziv were held together throughout their eight months in captivity, in a total of four homes, Channel 12 reports.

He was asleep in bed when IDF forces arrived to free him, he also says.

He says he saw television broadcasts at times during captivity, including footage from rallies urging his release and that of the other hostages, and was very moved, the TV report adds.

He also told his family that a few weeks ago, on his birthday, he was filmed by Hamas for a planned propaganda video which his captors said would be screened in Israel. In fact, Hamas did not publish the video. On his release, Jan asked his family if they had seen it.
