Eli Elbag, the father of Liri Elbag, presented her photo before the kidnapping and after the kidnapping
The family of Liri Elbag, who was kidnapped in Gaza for 171 days, held an interview with the Daily Mail, published today (Monday), in which they presented to the newspaper the photo of the room where Liri was held, along with other abductions.
The room that looks like a children's room with a wardrobe and scattered toys.
"At first when I saw the picture I was happy that it was in a child's room. There were children's clothes in the closet and it gave me relief to know that she was not in a scary place," says mother Shira.
"Then, I realized she was with a family. They kidnapped her, not Hamas. It's like me keeping someone else's child locked up in my house," the mother said.
The IDF came to the room, where there were toys, a pink closet and children's clothes, following the detection of bloodstains - including DNA remnants of the abductees.
Liri Albag, 19, was abducted into slavery in Gaza.
The Gazan family who held her hostage used her as a domestic slave, forcing her to cook and clean.

The British newspaper reported that abductees who were released from captivity told the family what Yiri described from her first days in captivity: she was forced to clean the family's toilets and cook food for them - while she could not taste it, and was allowed to shower for the first time only after 37 days in captivity.

Leari's mother described that she heard from the freed abductees that the last place they stayed with her family was a 40-meter-deep tunnel before their release from captivity - "without air, sunlight, water and decent living conditions."
