Survivor Shoshan Haran Reflects on Gaza Captivity and Israel's Moral Challenges
Shoshan Haran, a survivor of Hamas captivity, recounts her harrowing experience after being abducted from Kibbutz Be’eri with her family. Her testimony, detailed in the book 'Captive on a Mission,' describes the ordeal of being held in Hamas safe houses, guarded by gunmen, and the struggle to maintain a semblance of normalcy for her young grandchildren. Haran's narrative begins with her life in Kibbutz Be’eri, moving through the massacre, abduction, and captivity, highlighting the emotional and physical challenges faced during her 50-day captivity. Her story also includes the ongoing struggle for the return of her son-in-law, Tal Shoham, who was held separately and returned after 505 days. Haran's account is not only a personal testimony but also a reflection on Israel's policies towards Gaza and the broader implications of the conflict.
