U.S. citizen Sagui Dekel-Chen (36), Sasha Troufanov (29), and Iair Horn (46) were released from Hamas captivity this morning after surviving 498 days in hell.
All three had difficulty walking, they were hobbled somehow. Visibly thin and pale, the three former hostages were paraded on stage by Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorists in yet another despicable propaganda parade. The terrorists forced each to make a speech in Hebrew in front of the crowd, as the International Red Cross stood idly by watching the spectacle before transferring them to the IDF.
None of the 3 civilian male hostages are walking normally. They each have difficulty with fluid leg movement and an unstable gait.
In video of one of the hostages hugging his family, he can’t lift his right arm and shoulder.

In another act of Hamas cruelty, Iair was handed an hourglass featuring images of hostage Matan Zangauker and his mother, Einav, with text reading “Time is running out.”
The 36-year-old American citizen Sagui Dekel-Chen from Bloomfield, New Jersey was released today after nearly 500 days as a hostage of the Hamas terror group.
99% of Americans have never heard his name because that’s the way American mainstream media & its owners wanted it
Why?
President Donald Trump praised the release of three more hostages, including the last living American, but warned Hamas that he will support Israel in whatever it decided following the passing of the noon deadline.https://t.co/HOfe3tGjyp
