Noa Argamani Clarifies: “Hamas did not beat me, Israel did”
Occupied Palestine (Quds News Network)- Noa Argamani, a former Israeli female soldier who was imprisoned by the resistance, clarified statements she made yesterday. She stated that the Israeli media misrepresented her words, insisting that she was not beaten by Hamas fighters, but she has bruises resulted from the Israeli strikes.
In a post on her Instagram page, Argamani addressed the recent media coverage: “I can’t ignore what happened in the media over the past 24 hours. Things were taken out of context.” She was referring to reports in Israeli media claiming she had said she was beaten all over her body during her captivity.
Argamani clarified, saying, “I was not beaten, and my hair was not cut. I was in a building that was bombed by the [Israeli] Air Force. The accurate quote is: ‘This past weekend, after the shooting, as I said, I had cuts all over my head and was injured all over my body.'” She emphasized that her injuries resulted from the collapse of the structure on her, not from any physical assault by the resistance fighters.
Argamani concluded her post by asserting, “I won’t allow myself to become a victim once again, this time by the media.”
Her statement comes less than a day after she testified in front of diplomats in Tokyo, where her words sparked a flurry of false reports in pro-Israel media, accusing the resistance of abusing her.
