Reactions of released hostages to the elimination of Izz al-Din al-Haddad

Following reports of the elimination of senior Hamas official Izz al-Din al-Haddad, hostages released from Hamas captivity reacted to the decisive event. Liri Albag, who was kidnapped from the Nahal Oz outpost on October 7, 2023, and released after 477 days in captivity, reacted to the news via her story account, as reported by Political-Security Cabinet - Moriah Asraf & Doron Kadosh and Nitzan Shapira on Telegram.

At the same time, ynet news reported on the reaction of Emily Damari, who emphasized the direct involvement of the eliminated senior official in the suffering of the hostages. According to her: "Izz al-Din Haddad murdered my friends and held me in the Hamas tunnels".

The reports come in the shadow of ongoing security tensions. News from the field on Telegram, which presents a consistent line of criticism toward the Hamas organization and positions supporting Israel's actions, emphasized the significance of the event for the hostages who personally experienced the organization's terror. While official sources confirmed the details of the elimination, the reactions from the field serve as a reminder of the pain and trauma that still accompany the hostages who have returned from captivity.
