Lifshitz is a peace activist who, together with her husband, helped sick Palestinians in Gaza get to hospital for years, her grandson told Reuters.
An 85-year-old Israeli woman kidnapped by Hamas on October 7 and set free two weeks later said she met its Gaza leader Yahya Sinwar while in captivity and asked him how he was not ashamed for having acted violently against peace activists like herself.
Yocheved Lifshitz, 85, was taken from her Kibbutz Nir Oz home in Israel to Gaza. She told the Israeli newspaper Davar she confronted Sinwar when he visited the hostages in an underground tunnel where Hamas was holding them captive.
"Sinwar was with us three to four days after we arrived," Lifshitz told the Hebrew-language Davar newspaper. "I asked him how he is not ashamed to do such a thing to people who all these years have supported peace."
