WORLD "Her name is Noa": Video shows woman being taken by Hamas at Supernova music festival where at least 260 were killed
Disturbing videos out of Israel show innocent citizens, including women, children and the elderly, being taken hostage by Hamas, which is on the U.S. list of terrorist organizations, as they invaded the country on Saturday. In one video, a woman yells for help, her arm outstretched, as she is taken away on a motorcycle. She is Noa Argamani, a university student who was attending the Supernova music festival in the south of Israel when the Palestinian militants began their attack .
Argamani's father, Yaakov, said he was in disbelief at the images he saw. "She is an amazing person. A sweet child," he told CBS News foreign correspondent Holly Williams in Hebrew.
When asked what he wants the Israeli government to do to get his daughter back, Argamani said: "Only by peaceful measures."
"We need to act with sensitivity," he said. "They also have mothers who are crying. The same as it is for us."
The video of Noa being captured has been widely circulated on social media. "Her name is Noa," many share in the caption, adding a name to the face that is filled with fear.

Noa was taken away from her boyfriend, her family and friend told Reuters. "We all want to believe that it's not, but you can't, you can't deny it. It's just her face, her clothes and it's her boyfriend, like you can see him very clearly, you can see very clearly that it's her," Noa's friend Amit Parparia told the news agency.
"I don't think anyone ever has felt such terror and such helplessness when you're taken away from your boyfriend, from your loved ones to some place unknown with terrorists," Parparia said. "I can't imagine what she's going through right now, traveling with those terrorists in Gaza, waiting for someone to send help."

The conflict between the Jewish state of Israel and Hamas has been tumultuous for decades. But on Saturday, Hamas terrorists broke through the barrier at the border between Israel and Gaza, launching an unprecedented attack, Williams reports. Gunmen killed civilians in the street and kidnapped hostages, in some cases parading them in the streets.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed the Israeli military would destroy Hamas, which continued to fire more missiles on Monday. The death toll for both Israel and Palestine is more than 1,200. Nine Americans are among the dead and the Israeli Defense Forces said on Tuesday that 900 Israelis have died.
Noa and her boyfriend were among the hundreds of people at the festival in Re'im when Hamas gunmen opened fire. The city is near the Gaza Strip, an area that is Palestinian territory.
Rocket fire, followed by gunshots, came out of nowhere, a witness told Israel's Channel 12.
Paramedics removed about 260 bodies from the desert area – a number that is expected to increase, Israeli rescue service Zaka said, according to the Associated Press.
Gal Levy, 22, managed to escape the attack but was shot in both legs and doesn't know if he will walk again. Levy told CBS News' Imtiaz Tyab he waited six hours for help. "I feel let down by the government. I feel let down by the army," he said. "I lost like two liters of blood, and I was really sure after the guy that came — the terrorist, to take us — that that's it. I'm gonna die."
The family of a 20-year-old aspiring DJ who was at the festival says he is still missing. Laor Abramov's parents joined CBS News from Israel on Tuesday and said he messaged his father from a bomb shelter on Saturday but they hadn't heard from him since.
His mother, Michal Halev, said they spoke to witnesses who saw their son being taken away in a pickup truck. "We need everyone who can do something to bring us back our boy. That's what we need. We need someone to bring us back our boy," she told CBS News' Jericka Duncan.

We need the American people. We need President Biden's help," his father, David Abramov, said. "Our children suffered the most horrific experience no one could even imagine — going to enjoy music with friends in nature and get bombarded with hand grenades and automatic weapons, and just being slaughtered one after another. Young, beautiful, happy people go to celebrate life and meeting monsters that come to celebrate death."
His father said they are in touch with authorities but haven't received answers about where their son is. "I just want to ask one thing," Abramov told viewers. "Help us? Please. Bring us back our son."

You will see in the first video that she is a very beautiful young woman, and it would be no surprise to me, having already read elsewhere that some of the hostages are being "presented as trophies" to other militants, that she is enduring many rapes and being paraded nude through the streets of Gaza by those vicious depraved animals. I once had an Israeli woman client who owned a shopping centre in Toronto and I discounted back then that she called the Palestinians "animals", but now I realize how right she was. In fact, I might even add their supporters to my definition.
I suppose there are some here who will criticize me for my feelings and comments, but I really don't give a damn and in fact think that my description of them, of at least the Hamas terrorists, is much too gentle and stand by my words. Don't forget that elsewhere I indicated that once I was forced to run to a bomb shelter in Israel, and was witness to a bus bombing in Jerusalem.
As a musician who has played large festivals, this freaks me out!
Have seen a few fights from the stage in my day but not this.
Fuck Hamas and end all responsible (including Iran).
Maybe it's time for the next world war. Iran won't win.
End all fascists with huge swings of my J Bass.
I spent many years as one of the Directors of the Mariposa Folk Festival and in addition to being in the audience that booed Bob Dylan when he went electric at Newport, attended folk festivals in Philadelphia, Washington DC and upstate New York, and there was NEVER any disturbance let alone worse. Hamas made the Hell's Angels murder at Altamonte to be like a drop in the bucket in comparison.
One Hells Angel with a knife made history.
Saw the Stones a few times where nobody died.
Saw Dylan with The Band in Denver back in 74.
One of the best shows I've ever seen!
Worked for MidWest productions at one point in time.
We had a guy get run over in the parking lot one night after a show. Seems nobody knew who was the first to do it. Bumper to Bumper traffic left it in doubt. Everybody thought he was just a speed bump.
The corpse was ugly!
Videos concerning the hostage kidnappings and the carnage caused by Hamas are hard to find among the multitude of the destruction and mourning in Gaza so it is important to weave your way through the obvious bias of the media and view these videos.
The New York Times placed the number of hostages at around 199. Hamas claims 250.
Does anyone think these people are going to be released?
Yet, there has been a flurry of diplomatic activity between the US and Israel. Please note the Israeli invasion of Gaza has been delayed. I assume it is to let Palestinians leave Gaza. In the meantime, Hamas has told them not to. So why the wait?
Why the wait? Two reasons have been indicated - one is to allow more civilians to get out of harm's way and the other is because of the threat of a much wider involvement in the war and Israel is waiting for that to be discouraged by the USA.
I read a third reason a couple days ago. The IDF has a lot of experience with rescuing hostages and this time was being used to set up for potential action by that unit. Whatever the reasoning, I'm sure the IDF is doing what they can to reduce civilian deaths and reduce the potential for their own losses.
I also saw that there will be no humanitarian aid allowed until the hostages are released. Now we will see how much Hamas gives a shit about Gazan civilians.

Just recently, see coverage of how bad things are getting in Gaza, I was wondering if some of the Gazans would be thinking "Ya know what? I'm starting to think that Hamas recent raid on Israel might not have been such a great idea after all...???""
JERUSALEM, Israel – If there’s one clear objective of Israel’s war in Gaza right now it is this: To hunt down and assassinate Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar .
Referred to by Israel as the Butcher of Khan Younis for his violent and cruel torture methods against his enemies, both Israeli and Palestinian, Sinwar, 60, is widely seen as being behind the massacre of Israeli civilians carried out by thousands of Hamas militants on Oct. 7.
The attack, in which 1,400 people are now known to have been killed, with a further 200 missing and likely being held hostage inside the Gaza Strip, is the worst against Jews since the Holocaust. Civilian men, women and children were not only murdered but, according to multiple eyewitness reports also brutalized, raped and even decapitated.

Here is a picture of him with what appears to be a young Palestinian boy. It is evident what Palestinian children are being taught.
He's pure evil-- you can see it in his eyes!
