In a yellow bikini… a former Hamas hostage celebrates her freedom (video)

Former Israeli Hamas hostage Noa Argamani celebrated with family and friends her “return to life” after 246 days in the Gaza Strip.

“It is not ideal that we are holding this ceremony while there is still war, while our soldiers are on the battlefield, while there are still 109 hostages in Gaza, including my partner, Avinatan Or, who “we miss terribly.”

She added: “But at the same time, I am happy to celebrate my return to life with all of you.” Let us remember that we must appreciate every day of this life and we must celebrate every moment that we live here.

During the ceremony, Argamani was seen dancing with her father, Jacob, as attendees lifted the duo on their necks, with a large banner hanging above that read: “We will dance again.”

After 246 days in captivity, Argamani was one of four Israelis freed on June 8, when Israeli army and police forces raided a Hamas compound to rescue the hostages.

Argamani is one of the most famous faces among the hostages taken by Hamas on October 7. She appeared in footage as she was transported by motorbike to the Gaza Strip, begging for her life while her friend was taken away on foot.

Over 200 innocent Palestinian civilians were mercilessly slaughtered to free Noa Argamani and allow her to dance half naked with her shirtless father to shitty techno ripoffs while her boyfriend remains in captivity. What a sick and deranged society pic.twitter.com/SLVkujwFjw
