In a video broadcast at Hostage Square in Tel Aviv, rescued hostage Noa Argamani spoke publicly for the first time and said her main concern while a captive was for her parents. As an only child and with a mother battling a terminal illness, she worried most about their well-being.
Argamani extended heartfelt thanks to the security forces who rescued her and three other Israeli hostages in Gaza. “I want to thank our security forces, our army, the soldiers, reservists, special forces, and everyone who took part in the rescue operation and risked their lives so I could return home.”
She also mourned the loss of Arnon Zmora, honoring him as a hero of Israel and expressing her condolences to his family.
