Argamani learned Arabic from her captors, who gave her food when she asked, reluctantly let her shower

Noa Argamani has told her loved ones that the home from where she was rescued by the IDF was that of a fairly well-to-do Gaza family, Channel 12 reports.

She says they had to be persuaded to let her shower, but that they gave her food when she asked for it.

She did not see much daylight, she further says.

She says she learned some Arabic from the family and spoke to them in Arabic. The father of the family told her that she “was blessed by God” to be held by his family.

Relatives and friends say she is smiling “from ear to ear” and is in good physical and mental health, the report adds.

A Channel 13 report says Argamani has confirmed to her family that she was held for part of her time together with hostages Yossi Sharabi and Itay Svirsky, whose deaths in captivity were announced in January. In February, an IDF investigation concluded that Sharabi was likely inadvertently killed in an IDF strike. Sharabi was believed to have been in a building that collapsed after an adjacent building was hit by the military, the probe found.

Argamani says she saw a missile hit the building, and was sure she was going to die, the Channel 13 report says.

She has also said she was moved between homes several times, but was not held in tunnels.
