These pictures were taken immediately after his release.
It's good news that this bloke is free. It's also good that his captors treated him comparatively well. Theyl didn't beat him or anything. They also let him listen to the radio.
It's strange how they also made sure he shaved. After 114 days withot a shave he should have a thick beard. I'm not jumping to the conclusion that there's anything suspicious going on; only asking if anyone knows why this is.

Thats funny because I didnt pick up on that, but I did notice that they didnt cut his hair!
If you look at previous pics when he was reporting he always kept his hair cropped very short.

He was slapped about a bit on the way to the release point. Punched in the face at least once and had his head banged on the vehicle window.

I guess so. It says that they let him use the bathroom and kitchen, so they probably let him have toiletries as well. Thanks for that.:)

He was kidnapped by Hamas not Vidal sassoon!
Strange how he was freed just after the recent 'terror attacks'.

He appeared with a cleanly-shaven head, saying one of his first acts after his release was "going to the barbers and getting rid of that just-kidnapped look".
"Maybe you have to have been a prisoner of some kind, for some time, to know how good it is just to be able to do the basic things that freedom allows," he said.
He also said he was punched in the face and had his head smashed into the vehicles window on the way to the release point.
LOL at Vidal sassoon.
