Freed Hostage Liri Albag Reacts to Hamas Commander's Killing
Freed Israeli hostage Liri Albag expressed a sense of closure following the elimination of a Hamas commander involved in her captivity. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and Shin Bet announced the successful strike against Muhammad Hamad Muhammad Jabein, a commander in Hamas's military wing, during an operation in northern Gaza last Tuesday.
According to the security agencies, Jabein was involved in holding nine hostages: Ziv Berman, Eitan Mor, Liri Albag, Agam Berger, Matan Angrest, Gali Berman, Omri Miran, Keith Segal, and Alon Ehl. Albag stated that Jabein held her and Agam Berger for nearly a year.
Albag shared her reaction on social media, writing, "When good news like this arrives, you can't hide the smile. What a crazy full circle." She added, "I have so much to tell about him, and I could expand for hours on the suffering he put us through. But today I don't feel like giving him even another word. Just smiling a huge smile and telling him, rot in hell, you scoundrel. How great that you are no longer here."
She also referenced a conversation she claims to have had with Jabein while in captivity, stating, "Remember our argument about who would reach hell first? Nice to know we were right about that too."
