Tel Aviv, Israel – When Ilana Gretzuski returned to Israel after she was detained in Gaza for 55 days in November 2023, she had a lot of adrenaline in her body that she could not sleep for two days.
“You don’t understand that it is really over. You don’t know who you or even what is your name.”
There is a ceasefire between Israel and an ongoing enthusiasm, and the hostages are fired in stages. But after the initial rejoicing of their release, it is possible that the prisoners who were released – who have been detained for more than 15 months – will be re -entered an attempt, based on the testimony of those who held a hostage themselves.
Gretzuski, 31, who is originally from Mexico, was kidnapped with her boyfriend from Kibbutz Nir Oz on October 7, 2023, when Hamas militants exploded across the border, killing about 1,200 people the war in Gaza.
Gritzewsky was released after 55 days during the only previous ceasefire deal a year ago.
After more than a year, Gritzewsky still has health problems. She did not gain the weight she lost, and she was stolen, and she has pain problems from kidnapping, when the sink was broken, dismantled and burned her leg from the motorcycle exhaust. She suffered from hearing loss in one ear.
She said, “I am still unable to take care of myself really.” “I don’t think my mind really realized everything I passed.”
She acknowledges that she neglected her recovery because she is tirelessly to release her boyfriend.
Fifteen hostages were released from Gaza, in exchange for hundreds of Palestinian prisoners and detainees, as the current ceasefire on what destroyed Gaza moves to its second full week. More than 47,000 Palestinians were killed in Gaza and large areas of land were destroyed. Hamas is expected to launch small groups per week throughout the initial ceasefire stage for six weeks. There are approximately 80 hostages in Gaza, nearly half of them, Israel believes it is dead.
When Gritzewsky was released, she was able to do what she dreamed of during her capture: her mother’s hug and her family’s vision.
It was desperate to good meat slices, but due to concerns about the health complications that she stimulates eating a lot or very quickly in those with vitamin insufficiency for a long time, it took time before you could eat what you want.
“You are accustomed to the hostages, so whenever you get food, you put some on the side. She said:” You ask if you can go to the bathroom, if you can sleep. “
He was shocked. Greitozky said that she was said four times, to be released, just to be brought to a different location. Every time it is not transferred to freedom.
She said: “I thought this would be my life forever, and that I would become a doll for Hamas terrorists, and they end up having children with them, I just wanted to break my head in the wall and die.” .
Greitozoski said that watching the hostages that were entered into Israel during the past week was a “storm of emotions.”
“He finally started. She said that our heroes began to go out, and leave his feet.” But there is also a state of uncertainty about whether the ceasefire will carry. Gritzewsky friend, Matan Zangauker, 25, is not included in the list of 33 hostages expected to be released in the first stage of the ceasefire.
The hostage remains in the hospital for several days as they undergo a battery of tests to determine the following steps. All the fifteen of the hostages that have been released over the past two weeks have returned in a stable condition, but they were suffering from “moderate hunger” and the faces of vitamins, according to Dr. Ami Banouf, an Israeli military doctor who treated the hostage. He said that many of them suffered injuries on October 7, 2023, the Hamas attack and that the medical care they received was not present or poor. Many of them still have pieces of fragments in the body.
Banouf said that some women who recently returned that they had been detained in tunnels and were deprived of sunlight for at least eight months in a row. He said that those who have been seized in captivity with others seem to be mentally better than the hostages who remained alone.
Medical officials said that every hostage accompanied by a dedicated team of doctors, nurses, specialists, psychologists and social workers.
Over’s Shapira, a psychoanalyst who heads a group of health professionals who treat editors, their families and survivors from the October 7 attack. Every person who treats them should ask for their permission for everything small, from turning off the light to the changing family leaves to conducting medical tests.
She said: “They took everything away from them as human beings, especially privacy and independence, and it is a challenge to help them restore it.”
The doctors said to this process in the name of “grounding” that Banouf, who likened it to the process of canceling the pressure, gradually helps the hostages to understand that they have regained control of such decisions such as what to take, what we wear and the place of meeting their families.
“We feel that we are obligated to give them the option to do everything they feel right,” he said. But he said that everything is taking place in “very small steps.”
Adina Moshe was released after 49 days in captivity. In the account of the first person on the Israeli news site N12, she said that some of the hostages will return a little knowledge of any destruction to their homes or the fate of their loved ones. They will remain suspicious of people and have to face aggressive media. She said that any improvement in their condition could be easily reflected.
“In their souls, they will continue to stay in the tunnels for a long time,” she wrote.
Avichai Brodutch, whose wife and three children were kidnapped on October 7 from Kibbutz Kfar aza, waiting for their return in the hospital, and at the moment he saw for the first time.
He said: “I opened the gates of the elevator and got my family, born again.”
Broadch said that the return was overwhelming and happy because he was afraid that his family had been killed during the enthusiasm of Hamas. He said that they returned thin and with lice.
Physical issues have been dealt with quickly. But Broadch said that the families left a permanent imprint on the welfare of their mental family. Every day, he hears a new story about something that happened in Gaza. They recover on October 7 over and over, and the challenges remain greater for his wife, Hajar, who took care of their three children and a child of one of the neighbors, Abeel Eteridan, then 3, while he was in captivity.
“It will take a long time to fix the wounds of the soul,” he said.
