Murdered Israeli Hostage Was Tortured to Death by Hamas
(Jerusalem Post) Itzik Elgarat, 68, an Israeli hostage whose body was returned in February in the framework of a hostage deal with Hamas, was tortured to death in captivity, his brother Danny Elgarat revealed on X on Thursday. "Today, after my brother's autopsy, the facts are clear: Itzik did not die of a heart attack. He was tortured to death." The autopsy found that Elgarat's injuries, including multiple broken ribs, a fractured nose, and broken toes, were sustained by brutal physical abuse. The forensic institute concluded that the severity and nature of the fractures were consistent with the sort of trauma that causes death if inflicted on a living body.
