Relatives of an Israeli mother freed from Hamas custody are warning the public not to believe a letter the terror group claims she wrote – dismissing a note praising the terrorists’ treatment of her daughter as “propaganda.”
Their warning came after that The Hamas-affiliated Shebab News Agency issued a letter Monday was allegedly written by Danielle Aloni, who praised the terrorists for their “incredible humanity” towards her 5-year-old daughter, Emilia.
“Children should not be in prison, but thanks to you and the good people we met along the way…My daughter considers herself a queen in Gaza,” the letter – published in Hebrew and Arabic – read.
It’s unclear if Danielle wrote the note of her own free will, or if she was forced to write the outpouring tribute — who also said she will “always be a prisoner of gratitude” that her daughter didn’t leave confinement with a “psychological shock.”
Danielle’s cousin, Liam Adam, was quick to criticize the contents of the letter on social media.
“Hamas just published more propaganda of my family,” he wrote on Instagram Stories Monday.

“In the notes. [Danielle] thanks to them for being so kind and good to him and Amelia [sic] while they were holding him in the tunnel???? This is propaganda,” he continued.
“Unfortunately I know many out there will try to use this for the defense of Hamas. Don’t trust them!”
Palestinian human rights student Ehab Hassan as well imitate Xwrote that the letter “cannot erase the atrocities committed by Hamas.”

Sharon’s husband, David Cunio, 34, remains in custody.

The community is now empty, as the remaining residents were relocated to Eilat after Oct. 7.
