Sign of Life by 3 Israeli Hostages in Latest Hamas Video

By    |   Monday, 15 January 2024 07:20 AM EST

The terror organization Hamas on Sunday published the latest footage showing three of the estimated 136 Israeli hostages who are still being held in the Gaza Strip.

In three clips that were cut together and are not dated, they identify themselves as Noa Argamani (26), Yossi Sharabi (53), and Itay Svirsky (38), before asking the Israeli government to return them home.

The video starts with the message, "Your government is lying," and ends with another message reading, "Wait… tomorrow we will inform you of their fate." Both messages were given in Arabic, Hebrew, and English.

As in past instances of Hamas publishing footage of Israeli hostages, most Israeli media outlets did not publish the videos to not take part in the terror group's psychological warfare.

Hamas has released several such videos in the past, with some of the hostages later being released, while others were found killed.

In an earlier statement on Sunday, Hamas spokesperson Abu Obayda claimed that the fate of many of the hostages was unknown to the terror group and that many of them had been killed by Israeli airstrikes.

Since her brutal kidnapping by Hamas terrorists was filmed and widely published by Israeli and international media, Noa Argamani has become one of the many symbols of the brutality perpetrated on Oct. 7.

Footage from the day shows her with a look of terror on her face, begging for mercy as the terrorists capture her at the Nova rave party in Re'im.

Noa's mother has since often appeared in public to call for her daughter's release.

Chinese-born Liora Argamani is in advanced stages of cancer and has to use a wheelchair, and pleaded for Noa's release to be able to see her before she passed away.

"Noa has been held captive by Hamas for 100 days and I don't understand how it can be, how she is still there," she said at a rally commemorating 100 days of the hostages' captivity on Sunday. "I hope I will be able to see her before my last day," she added.

Israeli officials have sent pleas for help in the release of Noa to the Chinese President and the Vatican but so far – to no avail.

Yossi Sharabi was kidnapped from his home in Kibbutz Be'eri together with his wife Nira and their daughters Yuval, Ofir, and Oren, but the terrorists decided to release them on the way and only took him to Gaza. His brother is also being held hostage.

Itai Svirsky lives in Tel Aviv but was captured while visiting his parents in Be'eri, who were both murdered in the assault.
