‘A year has passed, and nothing has changed’: Noa Argamani marks anniversary of rescue

Noa Argamani marks a year since she was freed from captivity in Gaza by a rescue operation by security forces.

“A year has passed since my rescue, since I got my life back. A year has passed, and on one hand, nothing has changed,” she writes in a post on Instagram.

Argamani laments that hostages remain in Gaza in terrible conditions.

She notes there was happiness surrounding her and three others’ freedom, while in contrast, a family’s world “was shattered the moment they announced the passing of Arnon Zmora, may his memory be a blessing,” referring to the Yamam officer killed in the operation.

“I lost my mother, the person closest to me in this world. I understood that the country was in mourning and there is nothing like the nation of Israel when it supports one another,” she writes.

She writes that her boyfriend, Evyatan Or, remains captive by Hamas, and that “we have spent more time apart than when we were together.”

“May this nightmare end and the 55 hostages return home,” she concludes.
