“I don’t know how he came out sane from this. It’s a miracle.” HORRIFIC: Avinatan Or’s father revealed new details about his captivity. - Avinatan was held in complete isolation, cut off from all other hostages. He had no books, no human contacts, nothing, for two years. - He had no idea what had happened to his partner, Noa Argamani. - He was kept in a tiny cage, about 1.8 meters high, barely large enough to lie down. At 2 meters tall, he couldn’t stand. - He was chained inside this cage for more than a year of his captivity. - At one point, while being moved between tunnels, Avinatan saw a chance to escape, but his attempt failed. After that, his captors tightened his conditions and beat him. “He knew there was a war, and he thought it should be ended even at the expense of the hostages. He told the prime minister that he thought he’d be held for years, until the war ended, and that this was what needed to happen. He’s a unique person.”
