Noa Argamani, an Israeli woman freed from Hamas captivity in Gaza in June, said on Friday that her injuries were caused by an Israeli air strike during her rescue operation, not by a Hamas attack.

Speaking to diplomats from G7 countries in Tokyo on Wednesday, Argamani detailed her ordeal after she was taken captive by Palestinian armed groups during the 7 October attack. However, two days later, she issued a statement on Instagram, saying that some of her remarks had been misquoted and taken out of context.

Contrary to some Israeli media reports, Argamani clarified that she was not beaten or had her hair shaved by Palestinian fighters.

“[Hamas members] did not hit me while I was in captivity, nor did they cut my hair; I was injured by the collapse of a wall caused by an [Israeli] Air Force pilot,” she added.

    I don’t get it. Did she or did she not get her hair cut and was beaten? This post appears to be stating the complete opposite.

    Edit: never mind. This is the original video that was taken out of context. The cuts and bruises were from the collapsed wall.

      She was beaten by hammas. The bruises she had when she was rescued were from the rescue probably or from some IDF bombing. From this people are trying to portray as if she was treated well in captivity as if she was some prisoner of war held with good conditions.

            She was beaten by hammas.

            She clearly said, she wasn’t.

            … bruces from the rescue… probably

            your subjective speculation.

                Can you not grasp how a “clarifying statement” works? How many people need to tell you that the original was taken out of context, so the woman clarified that it wasn’t what she actually said. Do you know what context is, bud?
