An Israeli army helicopter fired on the Israelis captured by the Hamas resistance group on October 7 on their way to besieged Gaza, according to a leaked audio, which has revealed their horror of being killed in Israeli attacks rather than Hamas blitz, TRT World reports.

The leaked audio, parts of which were published on the Israeli news site Ynet, captures the meeting on Tuesday between former Israeli captives, relatives of those still in Hamas captivity, and Israel’s war-time cabinet.

A freed female captive is heard in the recording as saying: “The feeling we had there was that no one was doing anything for us. The fact is that I was in a hiding place that was shelled, and we had to be smuggled out, and we were wounded. That’s besides the helicopter that shot at us on the way to Gaza.”

She added: “The fact that we were shelled, the fact that no one knew anything about where we were … You claim that there is intelligence. But the fact is that we are being shelled. My husband was separated from us three days before we returned to Israel and taken to the [Hamas] tunnels.”
