Israeli hostage Jordan Roman Gat shares her harrowing experience after being kidnapped by Hamas and held captive in the Gaza Strip. After being released from captivity, she spoke with CBS network’s “60 Minutes” program, detailing the fear and threats she faced during her time in captivity.
During the interview, Roman Gat expressed the constant fear she felt as a woman, knowing the potential dangers she faced while being held captive. She detailed the sense of hopelessness and lack of protection that she experienced, emphasizing the constant fear that never left her mind.
Roman Gat also recounted the difficult decision she had to make in order to save her 3-year-old daughter Gefen, as she handed her over to her husband Alon to ensure their escape from the terrorists. Roman Gat explained that if Gefen had stayed with her, they both would have likely met a tragic fate in the hands of their captors.
The ordeal began when Roman Gat, Alon, and Gefen were kidnapped and taken to the Gaza Strip. While Alon and Gefen managed to escape, Roman Gat was not as fortunate. Her sister, Roni Roman, shared the terrifying moments of their escape attempt, revealing how they were separated during their escape and how Alon and Gefen managed to find safety and join IDF forces, while Jordan did not.
The interview with Roman Gat will be broadcast in its entirety later this week on Cellcom TV, with a Hebrew translation. The program “60 Minutes” is set to air in Israel courtesy of Cellcom TV, providing viewers with a firsthand account of Roman Gat’s harrowing experience in Gaza.
