Noa Argamani, a 26-year-old Israeli software engineering student, described her harrowing eight-month captivity by Hamas in the Gaza Strip after being abducted from the Supernova music festival on October 7, 2023. Speaking to G7 embassy representatives in Tokyo, she detailed the severe physical and mental torture she endured, including extreme deprivation of water and food, and how she survived by practicing mindfulness and recalling happier times. Argamani’s abduction became widely known through a viral video showing her being taken away on a motorbike. She was rescued in a high-stakes raid on June 8, just in time to reunite with her mother, who died shortly after. Argamani called her survival a 'miracle' and urged world leaders to secure the release of remaining hostages, including her boyfriend, Avinatan Or, who is still held captive.
