Former hostage who praised Hamas' ‘humanity’ now claims 'it was a horror movie’

Danielle Aloni, 45, wrote an open letter under duress where she wrote that she and her daughter, five-year-old Emila, was being treated “like a queen"

A woman who initially praised the “extraordinary humanity” of Hamas terrorists has now revealed the reality, saying being abducted and held hostage was horrifying. 45-year-old Danielle Aloni wrote an open letter under duress where she wrote that she and her daughter, five-year-old Emila, was being treated “like a queen.”

‘People can die because their abductors simply decided to murder them’

However, ten days after her release, she revealed the truth. “On October 7, we were brutally kidnapped from our home,” she said, according to The US Sun. “Our daughter saw things that children at that age, or at any age, should not see.”

“It was a horror movie — you feel like you want to pinch yourself and wake up from this movie. People can die because their abductors simply decided to murder them,” she added.

Chilling images and videos shared by Hamas’ military wing

A few days ago, chilling images and videos surfacing online, which were reportedly released by Hamas’ military wing, show the masked terrorists waving goodbye to Israeli hostages after handing them over to the Red Cross. Videos and images show the terrorists leading the hostages, handing them over and waving goodbye, while the hostages wave back. Some of the children can be seen smiling. However, some social media users pointed out that the terrorists can be heard ordering the hostages to “keep waving.”
