The hostages who were rescued from captivity in Gaza over Shabbos have told medical teams about some of what they endured while in captivity. The hostages reported facing emotional abuse, and that the terrorists forced them to read the Quran and learn Islamic rulings.

According to a Channel 13 News report, Noa Argamani told her family that she was in captivity together with Yossi Sharabi and Itay Svirsky, who were died while in Hamas captivity.

The IDF acknowledged that Sharabi was likely killed during an airstrike on a building near the place where he was held, and that Svirsky was murdered by terrorists a few days later. Noa reportedly told her family, “I saw the missile enter the house, I was sure I was going to die. I thought that was it – but I remained alive.”

Noa said that she was moved between multiple locations, and was not held in a tunnel. Any time she was allowed to be outside she was disguised as an Arab woman.

Noa was rescued from an apartment on the first floor in the heart of Nuseirat in the central Gaza Strip, only a few hundred meters away from the building where the three other hostages who were rescued were held: Shlomi Ziv, Almog Meir Jan and Andrey Kozlov.

Noa reported hearing loud knocks on Shabbos morning: “She told me that, out of nowhere, all of a sudden she was told that it was the IDF, ‘we have come to rescue you,'” said Assaf Shahibi, her relative, who met her at Sheba Hospital, where the four rescued hostages were taken.

Sharon Sharabi, the brother of the late Yossi Sharabi who was with Noa in captivity and whose other brother Eli remains in captivity, told Ynet on Saturday night, “I feel enormous joy, I am so excited. This heroic operation lifted the nation, we were all grounded, we went through psychological ups and downs in the last few months.”

  1. As others have already said, V’gam Ani B’socham, it was sort of like another
    Entebbe ! Boruch Hashem, but of course I will not say Kain Yirbu because
    may all the others be saved without having to resort to another Entebbe.
