"I was very scared. There were terrorists all around us. Houses were on fire." This is what the Dutch-Israeli Ofir Engel (18), who was taken hostage by Hamas in October and released after 54 days, says. He tells his story on Saturday in an interview with the Reformatorisch Dagblad.During the major Hamas attack on October 7, Ofir, his girlfriend, his father-in-law, and a neighbor boy were taken from their home in Kibbutz Be'eri by armed Hamas fighters. The girlfriend was released almost immediately; the rest were kidnapped to the Gaza Strip. There, they were held in an apartment.
