"Until the very last moment we weren't sure we would make it, we thought they would lynch us en route to Israel," an unnamed freed hostage was cited in Israeli media as saying.
The Red Cross group was tasked with handing over the hostages from Palestinian terrorists to the Israeli military personell awaiting them at the Egyptian border. The group was on the receiving end of probing question from Israeli officials and media following its performance during the hostage crisis.
