Overview
- Agam Almog-Goldstein, a 17-year-old Israeli girl, spent 51 days in Hamas captivity with her mother and two young brothers, during which she demanded respect from her captors and was threatened with forced marriage.
- Agam learned of her father and sister's death by terrorists during her captivity through a radio, the only means of obtaining information about the outside world.
- Sahar Kalderon, another 16-year-old Israeli girl, was also held hostage by Hamas and feared dying from Israeli airstrikes more than from her captors.
- Sahar was released after 52 days but her father remains in captivity, and she has called for an end to the war and the release of all hostages.
- Both girls have spoken out about their traumatic experiences, with Agam stating she will never forgive or show empathy to her captors, and Sahar expressing a sense of complete helplessness during her captivity.
