Relatives of Israeli captives in Gaza unveiled a replica in Tel Aviv of the tunnels where they are believed to be held, to mark 100 days since they were seized, AFP reports.

After walking through the mock tunnel outside the Tel Aviv Museum of Art, Eyal Moar said it was only a “small bite” of the ordeal experienced by his uncle Abraham Munder, 79, and the other hostages abducted on October 7.

“We know the conditions are really horrifying — no fresh air, very little food, no meds, no sun light, they sleep on the floor,” Moar told AFP in the central plaza renamed “Hostages Square” by campaigners.

Israeli artist Roni Levavi, who designed the installation, wanted to create “the most faithful reconstruction” of the Gaza tunnels and relied on images from the media, he told AFP.
