Just over three weeks after her daughter Noa was freed from Hamas violence in the Gaza Strip, the seriously ill Liora Argamani died. Before Noa’s liberation, the deceased attracted worldwide attention with moving video messages.
The Ichilov Hospital in Tel Aviv and the Hostage Families Forum confirmed the woman’s death. She was 61 years old, the media reported. Benny Gantz, until recently a member of the now-disbanded War Cabinet, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expressed their condolences to Noa and her father.
Mother touched the world
Liora had repeatedly asked in heartbreaking videos to see her kidnapped daughter before she died. More than three weeks ago, an Israeli special forces unit rescued 25-year-old Noa along with three other hostages from the Islamist Hamas.
The fate of the young Israeli woman who was kidnapped from the Nova music festival has long affected the country and many people outside it. Images of her being abducted by terrorists on a motorbike, crying and desperately crying for help, went around the world. Her boyfriend, who was also kidnapped at the time, is still being held hostage in the Gaza Strip.
During a rally against the Israeli government last weekend, Noa spoke out publicly for the first time since her liberation, calling for an end to hatred. “I wish for all of us more peaceful days, calmer days surrounded by family, friends and good people. The most important thing is that we learn to love and not hate,” she said in a video message shown at a rally in the coastal metropolis of Tel Aviv on Saturday.
