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.

    Isnt it a bit odd that you have two sources saying completely opposite things.

    After all she either said it or she hasnt.

    Its good we actually have a video recording of her in her voice saying she was beaten.

      Very odd. have you considered israeli hasbara trolls lie and post stuff out of context. And then that later gets clarified by herself.

      Surely that never happened before

          She says something on a Video of a few minutes. It gets cut down to 37 seconds.

          This is like taking

          Sure. But again you have her saying it on video. Is she lying? Is it AI?

          And cutting it down to:

          “you have her lying? is it AI?”

          and completely distorting the meaning of what you actually said.

      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?
