Hamas sedated hostages before their release back to Israel, which was broadcast worldwide, in order to "make them appear happy," a Health Ministry official said on Tuesday.
Prof. Ronit Endevelt, the head of the Israeli ministry's Nutrition Department, told a Knesset Health Committee hearing that the terrorist organization gave the hostages vitamins and Clonex mood stabilizers "to make them appear happy" in front of the cameras as they made their way back home from captivity.
Health Committee Chairman MK Yoni Mishraki of Shas told the meeting that the ministry should publish a detailed report to global health organizations regarding the medical findings discovered after the captives' return.
