Wow that’s a leading a title.
The guy lost his arm in an explosion during the Oct 7th raid, it appears to have been treated well as it’s healed up in the screenshot and he looks clean and relatively well cared for.
His hell as he apparently describes it is being locked up and not seeing the sun, which would certainly be horrific as I’m sure many prisoners across the world can attest to.
The 70 dead are allegedly from Israeli bombings, although we have neither ability to confirm or deny what’s caused ~half the hostages to die since Oct 7. I’d bet good money on it being multifaceted with both sides to blame.
All in all a fair cry from the mental images the title invokes of a secret torture dungeon where they’re chopping hands off.
If you want to see above ground hell, go look at the NSFL photos of Palestinian prisoners (Some are very young children) of Israel and read their accounts of torture, rape, and murder at the hands of the IDF.
For none Australians unaware of the source, News.com.au is a Murdoch rag. Sensationalism and clickbait titles are to be expected.
You excuse Hamas violence but not Israeli violence? Seems pretty bias.

Laziness is posting a bias article to defend your own bias.
What is my own bias?
