Louis Har recounts 129 days as a Hamas hostage
Louis Har, a 72-year-old Argentine-Israeli citizen, is sharing his experiences after surviving 129 days as a hostage held by Hamas in the Gaza Strip. Har was abducted from Kibbutz Nir Yitzhak alongside his partner, Clara, and three other family members.
Har was released on February 12, 2024, following an Israeli military operation. He described the psychological toll of his captivity, noting that he continues to struggle with flashbacks and the memory of being held in an apartment where captives were treated poorly. He stated, “I had fear of dying under the bombs,” referring to an explosion during the rescue operation that initially made him believe the end had come.
