According to a new report, Noa Argamani, whose abduction in the October 7 Hamas massacre of 1200 Israelis was videotaped and went viral around the world, was most likely kidnapped not by Hamas terrorists but instead by Palestinian civilians who followed the terrorists into Israel.

Argamani, 25, a data science engineering student, was carted away from the NOVA music festival on a motorcycle, terrified, with her hands outstretched to reach for help.

“NBC News has uncovered information indicating she may not have been kidnapped by Hamas, but was instead most likely abducted by a mob of Gazans that swept into Israel hours after the initial attack,” NBC News reported on Tuesday.

Information gleaned from text messages, phone records, satellite images, people who witnessed the abduction, and an NBC analysis of the sun’s position at the time led NBC News to speculate she had been taken by Palestinian civilians. The moment Argamani was kidnapped, according to an analysis of the sun’s position and shadows, indicates that it occurred toward noon, many hours after the sunrise terrorist attack.

An Israeli official noted that Argamani’s captors were not armed or wearing tactical vests, suggesting they were not part of the Hamas terrorist group but rather civilians.

Late last month, Liora Argamani released a heartbreaking video in which she pleaded to see her daughter one last time.

“I am Liora Argamani, the mother of Noa, the beautiful girl who was abducted on October 7th by Hamas to Gaza. I am now sick with cancer – brain cancer. I do not know how much time I have left,” she said. “I wish for the chance to see my Noa at home. I want to get to see my Noa at home. I call on President Biden and the Red Cross to bring me my Noa as fast as possible so I get the chance to see her. Noa, I want to tell you, if I don’t see you, please know that I love you very much. Please know that we did everything we could to get you released. The entire world loves you.”
