Emily Hand, one of the youngest hostages taken by Hamas on Oct 7, described the moment she was captured at knife-point in a rare interview.

Originally from Dublin and an Irish citizen, nine-year-old Emily was bundled into a car by members of the terror group from Gaza.

She then spent 50 days held hostage in the enclave before being released as part of a prisoner exchange deal.

Emily, who was eight at the time of the attack, was staying with a friend at the Be’eri Kibbutz when Hamas struck.

“When they arrived, we just opened up. Because if we held the door they’d shoot and the bullets would hit us,” she told Channel 4 in a documentary to be aired on Wednesday.

“So we just opened the door.”
