Reunited hostage describes stark differences in couple's Gaza...

Noa Argamani, a former hostage abducted during the October 2023 attack at the Nova music festival, has shared her experiences following her reunion with her partner, Avinatan Or. Argamani described how the two were separated immediately after their abduction in southern Israel and endured vastly different conditions during their captivity in Gaza. While Argamani was held with other hostages in houses, Or spent two years in isolation in tunnels, losing significant body weight and only learning of Argamani's earlier release after his own.

Argamani was freed in a military operation after 246 days, whereas Or was released under a ceasefire deal after 738 days. She expressed gratitude for their reunion and acknowledged the long road to recovery ahead. As the ceasefire agreement continues, the return of the bodies of remaining hostages is still awaited, with survivors beginning their healing process.
