Summary

Sapir Cohen and her boyfriend Sasha were kidnapped on October 7th. Today, Sasha is still in captivity. Sapir was brought by terrorists into Gaza on a motorcycle, brought to the tunnels and was living the unimaginable.

Although she wasn't a very religious person, she found herself praying and saw a few miracles occur. She was kidnapped for 55 days and even met the infamous Hamas leader, Yahya Ibrahim Hassan Sinwar, better known as Yahya Sinwar, who is a Palestinian monster who has been leader of Hamas within the Gaza Strip since 2017. This is Sapir's story.
