Freed Israeli hostage warns soldiers not to go into Hamas tunnels: ‘It’s a colossal danger’
Fox News
A recently released Israel hostage warned ministers on Saturday not to send soldiers into tunnels frequented by Hamas, calling them a "colossal danger."
"Every passing day is terrifying. You have no idea what kind of monsters we are dealing with. If they’re feeling threatened, they will use the captives. They scared us that the IDF would use the Hannibal Directive on civilians, and therefore we were scared when the [IDF] bombings were close," the unnamed individual was quoted as saying, referring to the IDF’s use of heavy fire if a soldier is abducted – even at the risk of killing the soldier.

"They were so close that we begged them to take us [from the building in which we were held] into the tunnels [for safety], and at one stage, they did," the subject said, before warning the soldiers: "Don’t go into the tunnels. They are moving around in there in vast numbers. It’s a colossal danger to soldiers and to hostages."
