Ex-hostage: Not just Hamas - Gazan civilians abused me

Matan Zangauker said that after he was abducted to Gaza, “children, women, and old people” attacked him with pipes and rocks

Former hostage Matan Zangauker, who survived nearly two years in Hamas captivity before being freed in the October 2025 ceasefire and hostage deal, spoke to Israel’s Channel 12 News on Monday evening about his ordeal.

In his interview after being released, he emphasized that the brutality he experienced came not only from Hamas terrorists, but from ordinary Gazan civilians.

Zangauker recalled that immediately after he was abducted to Gaza, civilians eagerly joined in torturing him.

I'm glad this young man did survive, and now he's telling the world about the freaking people who abused him, so I have no sympathy for all the Gazans who died as a result of Hamas' actions on Oct 27

this is what happens when the army is asleep when the officers tell everyone to stand down, don’t bother with what’s going on. These officers should be shot.!!!
