A British newspaper released an exclusive image on Monday showing what it said was a children’s bedroom in the Gaza Strip where hostage Liri Albag and other captives were held by the Hamas terror group in their first few days in captivity.

According to The Daily Mail report, soldiers identified traces of blood in the room, which, following DNA tests, were confirmed to be from Albag and other female hostages.

Photos of the room, which was seen to contain children’s toys and a pink wardrobe, were shared by soldiers with the newspaper.

“At first when I saw it, I was happy because she was in a child’s room. There were kids clothes in the cupboard and it gave me a little relief that she wasn’t in a scary place,” Albag’s mother, Shira, told the Mail.

“But then I understood that she is with a family — they kidnapped her, not Hamas. It’s the equivalent of me keeping someone else’s children locked in my house,” she added.

Speaking with the Kan public broadcaster last week, Shira Albag said released hostages had told her that Liri was forced to go between families’ homes in the Gaza Strip and cook and clean for them.

Shira last heard from her daughter at 6:30 a.m. on October 7, when Albag reported that she was in a field shelter in Nahal Oz, trying to avoid the rocket barrage.

She thought her daughter had ended up in one of the hospitals, and went to Soroka in Beersheba to try and find her.

When she arrived back home, Albag’s boyfriend showed her a Telegram video posted by Hamas, in which they were able to identify her being kidnapped.

In total, 253 hostages were taken by Hamas-led terrorists during the terror group’s October 7 massacre, 130 of whom are still held in Gaza. Most female captives were released as part of a truce deal in November, but 19 women are still held, among them IDF soldiers, in addition to two very young children, one of them an infant.
