Hostage’s harrowing account: Bibas and Kalderon imprisoned in pens 

Adina Moshe, who was kidnapped during the October 7 massacre and released in a November 2023 prisoner exchange, has shared her first detailed account of encountering fellow hostages Yarden Bibas and Ofer Kalderon in Gaza.

In an interview with Galei Zahal, Moshe described finding Bibas and Kalderon confined in small, pen-like enclosures. She recounted, "It was pitch dark. I asked why they were kept in such conditions, and they said they didn’t know. It turned out they had clashed with Hamas."

Moshe revealed that after two days, she managed to convince her captors to bring Bibas and Kalderon to her group for short visits, during which Bibas expressed concern for his family. "Yarden hoped his wife Shiri and children Ariel and Kfir were safe, as he feared they might have been captured by the terrorists," she said.

Moshe also shared that Bibas had left his safe room to confront the terrorists, while his family remained inside. "He was taken to Khan Yunis, and I even asked Hamas about his family’s status. I developed a rapport with the guards, hoping it would benefit us," she added.
