Avi Marciano, father of observer post soldier Noa Marciano, who was abducted from Kibbutz Nahal Oz and murdered in Gaza three years ago, revealed a chilling audio recording of his daughter from her early days in captivity. The recording, shared on a Saturday, features Noa describing her fear amid IDF strikes in Gaza. She identifies herself, her parents Avi and Adi Marciano, her hometown of Modi'in, her age of 19, and her Moroccan, Polish, and Bukharan heritage. She states she had been in Gaza for four days, that the entire area was being bombed, and that she and other hostages were in danger of dying from the missiles, pleading for the attacks to stop due to their proximity.
Following the recording's playback, Avi Marciano delivered a poignant address, demanding a thorough investigation into the failures that led to his daughter's situation. He stated that his daughter was abandoned in captivity and was injured by an Israeli Air Force bomb before being murdered in a hospital. He emphasized the importance of a state inquiry commission ahead of upcoming elections, questioning if Noa was being abandoned once again.
Noa Marciano's body was recovered by IDF and Shin Bet forces in November 2023 near Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, where she had been held. While Hamas claimed her death was caused by IDF airstrikes, the IDF spokesperson, based on a pathological report, stated that Marciano sustained non-life-threatening injuries from the strikes and was subsequently murdered by Hamas terrorists inside Shifa Hospital.
