In June of 2024, The Gateway Pundit reported that hostage Noa Argamani, 26, was rescued after eight months of captivity at the hands of ruthless Hamas terrorists.
Argamani was in attendance at a nature party on October 7th, when Hamas terrorists launched a massive surprise attack on civilians in Israel.
A haunting image of Argamani at the moment of her capture at the party horrified the world as she pleaded with the terrorists while being held on the back of a motorbike, ‘Don’t kill me!” And she called out to her boyfriend, Avinatan Or, who was being led away by Hamas.
NEW: Avinatan Or and his girlfriend, Noa Argamani, reunite after two years.
The pair, whose kidnapping went viral on the day of the October 7 attack, were taken by Hamas from the Nova music festival.

Argamani later testified after being rescued about her harrowing experience in Hamas captivity and said it was a “miracle” she was still alive.
During the meeting she shared, “Every night, I was falling asleep and thinking, this may be the last night of my life. “Until the moment I was [rescued]… I just did not believe that I’m still surviving.”
She added, “And in this moment that I’m still sitting with you, it’s a miracle that I’m here. It’s a miracle because I survived October 7, and I survived this bombing, and I survived also the rescue.”
Argamani remained a passionate advocate on behalf of hostages who were still in captivity.
Thanks to President Donald Trump’s historic peace deal, Noa and Avinatan have been reunited.

Noa shared her joy on X, making sure to give thanks to President Trump.
“Two years. Two years passed since the last moment I saw Avinatan, the love of my life. Two years since the moment terrorists kidnapped us, put me on a motorcycle, and tore me away from Avinatan before the eyes of the entire world.”
“From that moment, our journey in captivity was separated. I was held captive with children, women, and the elderly, while Avinatan was held alone. I was mostly kept inside houses, while Avinatan was only in the tunnels. Hamas released videos and signs of life from me, while there was no information at all about Avinatan. I was held captive by Hamas for 246 days, while Avinatan was held for 738 days. I came back in a heroic rescue operation, and Avinatan returned in a deal.”
“But both of us, against all odds, came home and were reunited!”
“I cannot put into words the range of emotions I felt when I saw him for the first time after so long. Each of us faced death countless times, and yet, after two years apart, we are finally taking our first steps together again in the State of Israel.”
“At last, we can begin our healing together. The recovery will be long; we still haven’t truly processed what has happened here over these past two years. But we won. We won our personal war, and the war of all those who fought alongside us to reach this moment. And now, the time has come to begin our shared journey together.”
“I want to say a huge thank you, first and foremost, to the @IDFsoldiers and security forces who have been fighting for so long and risk their lives for us every single day. Thank you to our family, friends, and to the people of Israel, Am Yisrael, who raised their voices when we couldn’t speak. To the people around the world who embraced us, to all the incredible individuals who supported us through the hardest times and never lost hope throughout this long period. To the US government, which opened its doors to me and was always there to listen, especially @SEPeaceMissions Steve Witkoff, @jaredkushner, and the exceptional President @realDonaldTrump.”
“To all the people who too stood beside our hostages and understood that light must overcome darkness.”
“We will never forget the fallen and the murdered, and we will not stop fighting until every fallen soldier and hostage is brought home for a proper burial in Israel.”
“Thank you, thank you, thank you!”
“This could never have happened without you.”
“We are back ❤️”
Two years. Two years passed since the last moment I saw Avinatan, the love of my life. Two years since the moment terrorists kidnapped us, put me on a motorcycle, and tore me away from Avinatan before the eyes of the entire world.
