Rom Braslavsky, who was held hostage by Hamas in Gaza, said he pulled his car over and needed to stop when told that the terrorist who abused him was killed. Braslavsky's account was posted to social media, corroborating earlier video of the moment.
Freed hostage Rom Braslavsky has given a firsthand account of the moment he learned that a Hamas terrorist who abused him in captivity had been killed. In a social media post, Braslavsky said he pulled his car over upon hearing the news. This follows a video he released earlier on Tuesday documenting the same event, as previously reported by The Zioneer.
The thread began with initial reports from N12 correspondent Amit Segal at 15:05 Jerusalem, stating that Braslavsky was told while driving of the terrorist's killing and said 'I have to stop on the side.' Minutes later, at the same published time, The Zioneer reported that Braslavsky celebrated the elimination with a message: 'Enjoy hell, Yizbel.' Then, at 15:05 Jerusalem as well, Braslavsky posted the video showing the moment he received the news, confirming the earlier descriptions. His new written account is consistent with his own video and the prior reporting.
Braslavsky's account of the killing follows his prior testimony about his captivity. As The Zioneer reported on June 10, Braslavsky said that a Hamas guard threatened to kill him minutes before his release, telling him, 'Our Palestine, next time you come near the fence I will kill you.'
The identity of the killed terrorist and the precise circumstances of the operation remain undisclosed.
