Family of Terrified Couple Kidnapped By Hamas Releases Video Showing Moment They Were Taken: ‘Don’t Kill Me!’

The family of a couple kidnapped by Hamas militants amidst the chaos of a surprise attack on Israel has released footage of the moment they were seized while attending an outdoor party in the northern suburb of Kibbutz Re'im.

Noa Argamani can be heard screaming, “Don’t kill me! No, no, no,” while being forced onto a motorcycle by members of Hamas. The same footage shows her partner, Avinatan, being restrained by two other men.

Avinatan’s brother, Moshe Or, said that he first reported the pair missing and then learned of the video, according to Israel National News.

"We were worried and tried to call. His phone was unavailable and so was hers," Or said, according to Israel National News. “After a few hours, emergency teams contacted us and told us that they saw a video of my brother and his girlfriend Noa as they were kidnapped and taken towards the Gaza Strip."

Or said that after he learned of the footage he searched for it himself, eventually seeing the video in a Telegram channel. After viewing the video himself, Or approved the media publishing the footage.

“I saw Noa looking scared and frightened in the video. I can't imagine what's going through her mind,” he told Israel National News.

Argamani can be seen in a subsequent video drinking water in a room in Gaza, according to the BBC.

Argamani is one of many people kidnapped by Hamas on Saturday, as the militant group launched a wide-ranging attack on Israel. In addition to civilians, both Hamas and Israel have confirmed that dozens of military members were also taken.

Thousands of Palestinians and Israelis have been injured in the initial days of fighting.

At least 700 Israelis have been killed, according to Israeli authorities, while the Palestinian Health Ministry said that at least 370 Palestinians were killed, according to CNN.
