UPDATE: June 8, 2024 – Noa Argamani was rescued, along with three other hostages, by Israeli security forces during a daytime raid in central Gaza.

NBC News foreign correspondent Raf Sanchez examines the case of 26-year-old Noa Argamani, who became one of the faces of the hostage crisis after video of her abduction from the Supernova festival spread across social media. Despite the release of more than a hundred hostages in November in a deal that included most women and children, Noa’s whereabouts–and those of nearly all of the hostages taken from the festival–remain unknown.

    The fact that anyone is still sympathetic to Hamas is unbelievable
  • @pollywog92
    Noa, and 3 other hostages have been rescued today! Praise God! Noa will see her mom again! Thank you IDF!
  • @YawnyCatBird
    Noa’s mom’s message brought me to tears. (I’m Chinese, and my mom is also ill).
  • @Lorimars319
    Her poor mother has brain cancer and came out, begging and pleading to see her daughter before she dies, the most heartbreaking thing ever! My heart felt like it was ripping into pieces, watching it. I couldn’t even imagine 😢😢😢
  • @jackiereed3132
    Millions of us are praying for Noa's safety and the safety of the other hostsges.
  • @janesthedev
    Noa got rescued I can 't believe it, I saw this documentary a week ago and I was thinking there is not much hope for her, I am so happy there is alway hope folks
  • The fear in this young woman's eyes is gut wrenching. I pray she and the others survive this and she's able to see her mother again
  • @larisa1592
    It tells me everything about a man that hurts a woman or plays with her life. I thought it’s common sense that during wars you don’t touch woman, children and the elderly. But these monsters decide to capture the most weak and vulnerable ones and play with their lives. What a disgrace.
  • @Cherish1056
    Noah we haven't forgotten you we pray for your release. Please Lord help the hostages to survive 🙏
  • @dellishart9535

    Thank you for doing this video. Noa has become the face of all hostages , in a way . Hopefully she will be home soon. As will all people in captivity. Hugs to you , Noa ! 🎈
  • @ns86532
    Noa is someone that I watched on youtube several times. Prayers for her to return home and the several women children men and elders who are still held. Prayers for their safe and quick return.
  • Watching this after Noa was finally rescued in a military operation. Thank God, her ill mother will get to spend time with her.
