Noa Argamani

Rescued June 8, 2024

Noa Argamani, a 26-year-old woman from Beersheba, southern Israel, was abducted by Hamas during the Nova music festival near Re'im on October 7th. In a distressing video capturing her abduction, Noa was seen reaching out towards her boyfriend while pleading, "Don't kill me" from the back of a motorcycle.

Noa, the only daughter of Liora and Yaakov Argamani, was on the verge of starting her junior year at Ben Gurion University, majoring in Information Systems Engineering. Her abduction further compounded the challenges faced by her family, particularly as Noa provided care for her mother's battle with terminal cancer.

After 100 days in captivity, Hamas released a chilling video on January 14th featuring Noa and other Israeli hostages, where she appealed for their release, echoing the sentiments of her fellow hostages. The video underscored concerns about the well-being of the captives.
