Brothers Or and Vigil Yaakov released from captivity / Maariv Online
Chilling revelations from the captivity of the brothers Or and Yagil Yaakov at the hands of Hamas: Their uncle, Yaniv, who met with foreign ministers in Europe while accompanying Foreign Minister Eli Cohen, said that his nephews were burned in the leg by the exhaust of a motorcycle, so that they could be identified if they escaped, N12 reported Thursday evening. The uncle also said that they were drugged during their transfer from one place to another.
"They took each of the children's leg and put it on the exhaust pipe of the motorcycle - which caused a burn, for the purpose of marking the children, in case they ran away or escaped, so they could find them," the uncle said.

Yagil and Or Yaakov were abducted from their home in Nir Oz together with their father Yair and his partner Merav Tal. Or, 16, and Vigil, 12, slept alone at their mother Renana's house on the kibbutz. The mother called to make sure they were in the safe room when the sirens sounded, and around 14:30 P.M., the children contacted their mother and whispered that they heard voices in Arabic inside the house. Renana still managed to hear Yagil say in Hebrew to the terrorists: "I'm too small, don't take me." She hasn't heard from them since.
12-year-old Yagil maintained a TikTok page he loved to operate. He appeared in a video released by Islamic Jihad during the war with Hannah Katzir, who was released in the first phase of the hostage deal. 16-year-old Orr loves playing Fortnite and working out in the gym.
