Noa Argamani, an Israeli former hostage, has publicly refuted claims made by Israeli media regarding her treatment during captivity by Hamas. In a recent Instagram post, Argamani clarified that she was not beaten or had her hair cut by her captors, as previously reported. Instead, she stated that her injuries were caused by an Israeli air strike during her rescue. Argamani was held captive in Gaza for nine months and became a prominent figure after footage of her abduction surfaced online. Her testimony, shared during a G7 meeting in Tokyo, comes amid ongoing tensions and media scrutiny surrounding the hostage crisis.
