Hostage for 491 days
For 491 days, Eli Sharabi lived as a hostage, mostly in the dark in Gaza’s tunnel system. Starved, beaten and chained, he clung to a single thought: that his wife and daughters were waiting for him at home. When freedom finally came, he discovered that everything he had fought for had already been taken from him. In the book “Hostage,” Eli Sharabi describes his struggle against hopelessness.
