Argamani, who was among four Israeli captives rescued in June, shared her harrowing experience during a speech to diplomats from G7 countries in Tokyo on Wednesday.

In her address, Argamani detailed her ordeal after being taken captive by Palestinian armed groups during the 7 October attack. However, two days later, she took to Instagram to clarify that some of her remarks had been misquoted and taken out of context by Israeli media.

"I cannot ignore what happened here over the past 24 hours, taking my words out of context," Argamani wrote, refuting claims that she had been beaten or had her hair shaved by Hamas 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."

Argamani, 26, was among the captives rescued during an Israeli attack on the Nuseirat and Deir al-Balah refugee camps in Gaza. The operation, which took place in June, resulted in the deaths of at least 236 Palestinians, mostly women and children. Despite the circumstances, Argamani described her survival as a "miracle."

"It's a miracle because I survived 7 October, and I survived this bombing and I also survived the rescue," she said in her testimony on Thursday.

Argamani emphasized the importance of securing the release of the remaining Israeli captives still held in Gaza. Her boyfriend, Avinatan Or, remains in Hamas captivity, along with 105 other individuals, including 34 whom the Israeli military has reported as dead.

"Avinatan, my boyfriend, is still there, and we need to bring them back before it's going to be too late. We don't want to lose more people than we already lost," Argamani urged.

Argamani's father, speaking to Middle East Eye after her abduction, expressed his hope for peace and an end to the ongoing conflict. "We have to stop this killing between us and them so that there can be real peace between these two countries once and for all," he said shortly after the 7 October attack. (ILKHA)
