Where Is Noa Argamani?
Noa Argamani is a 26-year-old student at Ben Gurion University, who was attending the festival with her boyfriend, Avi Natan, when the attack occurred. Initial reports indicated that Hamas was responsible for the abductions. Subsequent investigations later suggested that Noa might have been taken by a civilian mob from Gaza rather than directly by Hamas. But this theory has been disputed since that video of her was released in January.
In captivity, Noa’s exact whereabouts remain shrouded in mystery. The footage released by Hamas included Noa along with fellow hostages Yossi Sharabi and Itai Svirsky. In the video, Noa detailed the tragic deaths of Sharabi and Svirsky. Despite the video, her precise location within Gaza is unknown, and Israeli officials treat the footage as part of Hamas’s psychological warfare tactics. It is common for terrorist organizations to release footage of hostages where they lay blame on their own government as a means of psychological warfare.
