Noa Argamani recounts : “There was a knock on the door. A voice said, ‘It’s the IDF. We’ve come to take you home.’”

Chief Inspector Arnon Zamora, an officer of the elite Yamam counter-terrorism unit, was mortally wounded in the hostage rescue operation in the central Gaza Strip. A hero of Israel and the Jewish people. May his memory be for a blessing.

There are still 120 hostages. BRING THEM HOME NOW!!!

4 days later… A clarification. Apparently “good condition” is a very relative term. In this case it seems to indicate that the hostages had all their limbs, no obvious external marks from torture, and Noa was not pregnant. That’s a pretty low bar. 😦

“The abductees were regularly beaten by their “innocent” captors.
“It was a harsh, harsh experience, with a lot of abuse, almost every day. Every hour, both physical, mental and other types, and that is something that is beyond comprehension”.
“They had no protein, so their muscles are extremely wasted, there is damage to some other systems because of that”.
“There have been periods where they got almost no food whatsoever”
“As time passes, hope of being released kind of decreases and you start wondering if this would ever end… losing that faith is where you get to the breaking point”.

Hostages held by “innocent” civilians. You can’t justify this. That doesn’t mean there aren’t real Gazan grievances. But this has NO justification.
