Hamas Ordered Israeli Hostage to Fake Her Death; Hostages Beaten, Starved, Forced to Eat Donkey’s Food

Former hostage Daniella Gilboa was forced by her Hamas captors to record a video faking her death in a propaganda effort that sparked distressing rumors about her fate, her mother revealed.    

Orly Gilboa, Daniella’s mother, told British media that “one of the terrorists came to her with a camera and told her: ‘Daniella, I must take a picture of you, like you are dead.’ She started to cry, begging him not to do it, but he told her: ‘No, it’s something they asked me to do and we’re doing it.’” 

Held in squalid tunnels dozens of feet underground under the watch of armed extremists, Daniella had no choice. “She did what she had to do,” her mother told the British news agency in Tel Aviv. 

According to her mother, Daniella pleaded for her life, begging the militants not to proceed with the deception.  Still, they covered her in powder and debris to simulate injuries from an Israeli airstrike in an attempt to make it appear as if she had been hit. The footage later circulated, fueling speculation that she had been killed. 

Furthermore, relatives of former hostages have also revealed to the British media outlet that their loved ones were starved, beaten, made to eat donkey food, and forced to drink filthy water. (DM/VFI News)
