Hostages Held in UNRWA Workers' Homes

Israel’s Channel 13 reported Sunday night that two of the Israeli hostages released from Gaza had testified that they were held in captivity separately by UNRWA workers, sometimes in their homes.

In one case the hostage said they were told by the captor’s daughter that he was an UNWRA teacher, fed snacks labeled and distributed by the UN agency, and eventually moved from place to place through UNWRA facilities to avoid detection as Israeli troops closed in.
