Hostage is the first memoir by a released Israeli hostage, detailing Eli Sharabi's abduction from Kibbutz Be’eri on October 7, 2023, during the Hamas attack, where he was separated from his British wife Lianne and daughters Noiya and Yahel, enduring 491 days of captivity in Gaza's tunnels filled with starvation, beatings, isolation, and psychological torment from captors.
Sharabi describes forging bonds with fellow hostages like Alon Ohel—whom he viewed as an adopted son—and clinging to faith and small victories for survival amid suffocating conditions and intermittent guard interactions, all while unaware of his family's fate until his February 2025 release.
