This is the best summary I could come up with:
A 12-year-old boy who was held hostage in Gaza for 52 days was forced in captivity to watch videos of the 7 October atrocities, his aunt has claimed.
The schoolboy was pictured being hugged by his mother, Batsheva, on Monday night, hours after he was released as part of a ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas.
The account came as released hostages began detailing their time in captivity and the two sides agreed to extend the existing ceasefire by two days.
In one of the first interviews with a freed hostage, Munder told Israel’s Channel 13 television that initially they ate “chicken with rice, all sorts of canned food and cheese”.
Two Israeli TV stations, Channels 12 and 13, reported that Hamas’ leader in Gaza, Yahya Sinwar, visited the hostages in a tunnel and assured them they would not be harmed, according to the Associated Press.
Hamas announced on Monday it had agreed to extend the four-day truce, after the intervention of Qatar and Egypt, the principal mediators for the initial agreement.
