In the video, she is seen screaming for help as she is put on the back of a motorcycle, surrounded by Hamas attackers. Noa Argamani participated on Saturday in the “Supernova Sukkot” festival organized near the Kibbutz of Reïm, located about ten kilometers from the Gaza Strip.
Hamas soldiers attacked the approximately 3,000 festival-goers, killing and taking hostage some of them, including Noa, separated from her boyfriend present at the party. Yaakov, the student’s father, responded in tears to the American television channel CBS News. “She’s an extraordinary person, an adorable child,” he whispered, moved, hoping that his daughter would be found using “peaceful measures.”
“Everyone started running and panicking”
“When we heard the bullets, everyone started running and panicking,” Gal Levy, 22, told CBS News from her hospital bed. He was shot in both legs. He waited almost six hours before being rescued and lost around two liters of blood.
As for Noa, the video of his capture was widely shared on social networks, with a message: “His name is Noa”. “I can’t imagine what she’s going through right now, traveling with these terrorists in Gaza, waiting for someone to send her help,” Gal Levy said. As recalled BFM TV, the latest report shows 260 people killed at the festival. The Israeli army claims to have regained control of the south of the country, while the response towards Gaza has begun.
