Noa Argamani seen for first time since she was kidnapped by Hamas fighters and taken away on the back of a motorbike on October 7

The undated 37-second video of Noa Argamani, 26, Yossi Sharabi, 53, and Itai Svirsky, 38, released on Sunday night showed them speaking presumably under duress, pleading with Israel’s government to end the war and get them home.

The clip ended with a Hamas caption that on Monday, “we will inform you of their fate”. Israel has blasted such videos as psychological warfare and insists it will not be deflected from its goals in Gaza, after Hamas launched raids into southern Israel on October 7 that claimed 1,200 lives.

Among the targets was a music festival from which Ms Argamani and her boyfriend were seized. An early clip released by Hamas showed her pleading for her life as she was taken away on the back of a motorbike.

    Noa is a friend of a friend. This whole thing has been utter shit and we still don’t know if she’s actually still alive.

      I’m so sorry. I’m keeping your friend and all the other hostages in my prayers.

        I understand the sentiment, but I wish there was less praying in this world and more science. See for instance, I don’t know, exhibit A - the Palestine Israel conflict.

            I didn’t downvote anything, I commented. And less religion is the best solution for religious conflicts.

            I hope you have a great day.

              You ever heard of ‘time and place?’ Like when you’re on line at an ice cream shop; it’s not the time, nor the place to whip out your genitals and take a fat, farty shit on the floor… On account of you’d look like a crazy ass hole. If somebody then called you out, and you proceeded to smear the shit all over your face, you’d look like an even bigger, crazier ass hole. Get it? Your above comments are kinda like the verbal equivalent to smearing your own farty shit all over at the wrong time and place. Nobody cares if you do those things, but maybe do them amongst other farty shit boys in your own venue, so you don’t stink up the place, 'ya know what I mean?
