Amit Soussana was one of the roughly 250 Israelis who were kidnapped during Hamas’s Oct. 7 attacks in southern Israel, and she was among roughly 100 of them who were released during the weeklong temporary ceasefire deal in late November. She is the first former hostage to speak out and accuse the terrorists of sexual assault while in captivity.
