Lifshitz’s husband, 83, is still being held hostage.
Underground, Lifshitz said she first went through a tunnel into a large room containing about 25 people. After about two or three hours later, five people from her kibbutz were moved to a separate room. “They guarded us closely,” Lifshitz added., Lifshitz said there was a doctor and a paramedic underground in addition to her captors.
Lifshitz’s daughter Sharone told reporters that her mother feels the “story’s not over until everybody comes back.” The scores of hostages still held by Hamas include Lifshitz’s husband, Oded Lifshitz, a journalist who has spent decades campaigning for the rights of Palestinians, according to the BBC.
