An Israeli woman kidnapped by Hamas militants on October 7 and held hostage for 245 days before being rescued lashed out on Friday at Israeli media outlets that twisted her words to make it seem as if she was wounded by her captors when in reality she was injured in an attack by the military in which she once served.
Responding to reports in outlets including The Jerusalem Post—which on Thursday ran the headline “Hamas Beat Me All Over”—Noa Argamani said on Instagram that “I can’t ignore what happened in the media in the last 24 hours.”
“Things were taken out of context,” the 26-year-old navy veteran from Be’er Sheva said of her earlier comments to Group of Seven diplomats in Tokyo. “I was not beaten… I was in a building that was bombed by the Air Force.”
“I emphasize that I was not beaten, but injured all over my body by the collapse of a building on me,” Argamani added. “As a victim of October 7, I refuse to be victimized once again by the media.”
Most dead hostages found in the strip so far were in shallow graves, with gunshot wounds from close up executions.
Absolutely none of what you just said justifies Israel willfully bombing hostages.
Is there documentary evidence of this

Interestingly, the IDF is less certain about their cause of death than the victims’ relatives. It’s worth stressing that relatives of hostages tend to be far more interested in explanations and solutions that are less, shall we say, negative towards Hamas. That they are not in this case is quite unusual.
