Israeli hostage taken by Hamas in 2023
Noa Argamani is an Israeli woman who was abducted by Hamas during the Re'im music festival massacre as part of the October 7 attacks. In one of the first Hamas videos released of the massacre, she was seen being taken away on a motorcycle as she yelled, "Don't kill me!" Her arms were outstretched toward her then-boyfriend Avinatan Or, who was also kidnapped. The footage of her kidnapping became a symbol of the hostage crisis and led to Argamani being described as "the face of the Nova music festival hostages".
