Noa Argamani testified for the first time since her captivity in Gaza. She recalls being taken hostage on October 7, and while in captivity two of her friends were murdered by Hamas terrorists.
Noa Argamani, the freed Israeli hostage who was kidnapped from a music festival during the Oct. 7 terrorist attack and held in Gaza until June, celebrated her freedom this week by returning to the dance floor. Video posted to Instagram on Friday by the Israeli television program 'Erev Tov' shows Argamani, 26, addressing a day party from the DJ booth before grooving atop a man's shoulders opposite her father, Yaakov, amid a packed dance floor.
She became the face of those abducted by Hamas militants once a 10-second clip of her being transported against her will by motorcycle went viral. Argamani was one of four hostages rescued by Israeli forces in a daytime raid on June 8. That raid left a trail of death and destruction in its wake, killing more than 274 people, including dozens of children, in the area of the Nuseirat refugee camp, according to local health officials.
