12-year-old Eitan: 'Alone for 16 days in closed room

Esther, the grandmother of 12-year-old Eitan Yahalomi, who was kidnapped from Nir Oz to Gaza alone and returned to Israel Monday night after 52 days in captivity by Hamas, talked about the horrors he went through in captivity. "For the first 16 days, he was alone and even in a closed room. Imagine what he went through there," said Esther. "To my great joy, they moved him about a month ago to a group of people from Nir Oz, and it was much easier for him there. First of all, his caregiver from the nursery, from the children's home, was there. It was good for both her and him. He came back thinner, not smiling. But it seems to me physically he is healthy." She also said that Hamas made him watch a video of the atrocities they committed. (Sivan Hilaie)
