Another distressing from the Israel-Palestine conflict has come to light. The video of an Israeli woman pleading for her life while being separated from her partner and forcibly taken into Gaza by Hamas combatants is doing rounds on all social media platforms.
The couple in the video were identified as 25-year-old Noa Argamani and her partner Avi Natan by their respective family members. In the footage, Argamani can be heard desperately pleading with her captors not to harm her and continuously saying, "Don't kill me."
Allegedly, the couple was attending an outdoor trance music festival near Kibbutz Re’im on October 7 when Hamas terrorists launched an attack on the crowd.
Soon after the attack, the woman was taken in by the attackers and separated from her boyfriend. Whether she is alive or dead remains unknown.

According to The New York Post, Yaakov Argamani, the father of Noa Argamani, expressed his profound distress and shared that he was fervently praying for the safe return of his 25-year-old daughter after her abduction.
Per Argamani, the initial response he received seemed perplexing, prompting him to visit the hospital in an attempt to gather more information. He explained, "I visited one of the offices and was informed that she hadn't sustained any injuries. While I was on the phone, her roommate contacted us and informed us that there was a video showing her on a motorcycle being kidnapped and taken to Gaza."
"I had hoped that this information was incorrect, that it wasn't true. But then, in the emergency room, an individual approached me and offered to show me the video footage of her. I requested to see it, and upon viewing it, I confirmed that it was undoubtedly her. She appeared terribly frightened and distressed."
Lamenting the loss of her daughter and feeling helpless, the father said, "Throughout her life, I had always protected her, and in that very moment, I felt powerless. My prayers are for the safe return of everyone involved."
Earlier, a report of disappearance was officially lodged by Moshe Ors, Nathan's sibling, who also alerted emergency services about the video depicting Nathan and his girlfriend being abducted.
Expressing concern, Moshe Ors stated, "We were anxious and attempted to make contact. Neither his phone nor hers was reachable."
He added, "I can't fathom the ordeal that must be going through her mind—terrified, with no way out, while these individuals are holding her against her will."
Israel-Palestine Conflict
The music festival that the couple was attending was purportedly among the first targets selected by Hamas terrorists. The current circumstances are a cause for considerable apprehension, and there is a strong desire for further updates.
The initial assault consisted of a substantial barrage of 5,000 rockets fired by the Hamas group at Israel. There have also been reports of foreign nationals being apprehended, including seven Nepali individuals who sustained injuries in Israel, and 17 who have been taken hostage.
The ongoing conflict has resulted in an estimated 500 casualties in both Israel and Palestine.
