Noa Argamani, a former Israeli captive who was released from Gaza earlier this year, has denied recent media reports suggesting that she was beaten and had her hair cut while in detention. In an Instagram post on August 23, Argamani addressed the misinformation circulating about her experience.
Argamani stated that the reports were “out of context” and clarified that she was not physically abused by her Palestinian captors. She explained that her injuries were the result of an Israeli airstrike on the building where she was held.
“I can’t ignore what has been going on in the media here in the last 24 hours,” Argamani wrote. “They (Palestinians) didn’t beat me and didn’t cut my hair. I was in a building that was blown up by the (Israeli) Air Forces.”
She described her injuries, noting that, following the airstrike, she had “cuts all over my head” and was injured from the collapse of the building. “I emphasize that they (Palestinians) didn’t hit me, but I was hurt all over my body from the collapse of the structure on me,” she said.
On June 8, the Israeli army successfully freed Argamani and three other captives from the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza, ending their ordeal in captivity.
