Israeli-Russian citizen Alexander Turbanov, who was held captive in Gaza
for over a year, has been released as part of a prisoner exchange
between Hamas and Israel. Upon his release, Turbanov made a statement
expressing deep appreciation for the treatment he received during his
captivity.</p>
<p>Turbanov, along with fellow captives Sagui Dekel-Chen and Iair Horn,
was abducted from Kibbutz Nir Oz during the October 7 attack and held in
Gaza. Their release was part of a larger exchange in which Israel
agreed to free 369 Palestinian prisoners.</p>
<p>In a video released by Hamas’ Al-Quds Brigades, Turbanov conveyed his gratitude, stating:</p>
<p>“During the 498 days I lived among you, despite the aggression and
crimes you endured, I learned the true meaning of manhood, pure heroism,
and respect for humanity and values.”</p>
<p>He further emphasized the compassionate treatment he received, noting
that his captors preserved his health and dignity, even amidst ongoing
conflict. Turbanov’s remarks highlighted a profound respect for the
faith and principles of those who held him, suggesting that their
actions surpassed conventional human rights laws and war protocols.</p>
<p>This exchange and Turbanov’s subsequent statements come at a time of
heightened tensions in the region, with ongoing discussions about
ceasefires and the treatment of detainees on both sides.</p>
