Twenty-one-year-old Rom Braslavsky, a former hostage of Islamic Jihad in Gaza, has shared the horrifying details of the two years he spent in captivity after being kidnapped on October 7, 2023, while working as a security guard at the Nova music festival.
He revealed that his captors tortured him daily—forcing him to dance, depriving him of food, inserting stones and nails into his ears, and beating him repeatedly. When he refused to convert to Islam, the torture worsened, including sexual abuse and humiliation.
Braslavsky also spoke about a propaganda video released by his captors, explaining that he was coerced to appear and beaten after each take. Describing his ordeal, he said he had “returned from a meeting with the devil,” comparing the brutality he endured to atrocities worse than those of the Nazis.
