Former hostage Romi Gonen has shared her harrowing experience of repeated sexual assaults during her 471 days in captivity in Gaza, as detailed in an interview aired on Channel 12's 'Uvda' program. Gonen, abducted from the Nova music festival in October 2023 at age 23, described being abused by four different men, beginning at Shifa Hospital where she was taken after being shot. She recounted being moved between several houses and eventually underground, enduring escalating violence and intimidation from her captors.

Gonen spoke of the psychological torment she faced, including threats to her life if she revealed the assaults. She described moments of fear and isolation, and the lasting impact of her ordeal. The interview offers a rare and deeply personal account of the suffering endured by hostages taken during the Hamas-led attack, with further segments of her story set to air in the coming weeks.
