'Women on the floor, riddled with bullets': Ex-hostage Rom Braslavski recounts 'horrors' of Oct. 7
Speaking in Rome at a conference for PM Giorgia Meloni's party, former hostage Rom Braslavski described the “horror” he witnessed on October 7 and the torture he endured in Gaza captivity.
Former hostage Rom Braslavski recounted the "horrors" of seeing murdered Israelis during the October 7 massacre at a speech to Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni's Brothers of Italy party's conference on Sunday.
"They were murdered and slaughtered simply for being Israelis, Jews," he said.
Braslavski was introduced by Jewish-Italian Senator Ester Mieli, the granddaughter of Holocaust survivors, and was interviewed by Maurizio Molinari at Castel Sant'Angelo in central Rome , hundreds of meters from Vatican City.
Braslavski recounted seeing "beautiful women lying on the floor, riddled with bullets. Their clothes were torn and blood was everywhere," describing the "horrors he saw with his own eyes."
"I saw a pile of bodies inside a large yellow trash can. Men, women, small children, covered in blood," he added.
