Avi Marciano, father of observer Staff Sergeant Noa Marciano, who was abducted from Kibbutz Nahal Oz on October 7 and subsequently murdered by Hamas, revealed a recording of his daughter from her captivity in the Gaza Strip. The recording was presented during events marking the October 7 anniversary at the "Space That Remains" exhibition at the Peres Center for Peace and Innovation in Jaffa.
In the recording, the observer identifies herself, stating, "My name is Noa Marciano, my father's name is Avi Marciano and my mother's name is Adi Marciano. I live in Modi'in, and I am 19 years old. My roots are from Morocco, Poland, and Ukraine. I am in Gaza, which is currently bombed with missiles. I have been here for four days. There are other hostages here, and we could die from the missiles. Please stop, the explosions are very close to us."
Staff Sergeant Noa Marciano was murdered by Hamas terrorists at Shifa Hospital. Her body was located by IDF forces in a terrorist hideout belonging to Hamas, near the hospital. The IDF and Shin Bet stated at the time that, contrary to Hamas claims, Marciano was not killed by an IDF strike. IDF Spokesperson Daniel Hagari clarified that while Marciano was injured by an IDF bombing on Thursday, November 9, a pathological report indicated the injury was not life-threatening. After being wounded, she was taken to Shifa Hospital, where she was killed by terrorists.
Approximately eight months ago, the IDF and Shin Bet eliminated Hamas terrorist Muhammad Assam Hassan Al-Hail, a cell leader involved in Marciano's murder during her captivity. Shin Bet investigations indicated that Al-Hail brutally murdered Staff Sergeant Marciano while she was held hostage. Following his elimination, Noa's mother, Adi Marciano, stated, "There is no real comfort in this, but there is the knowledge that justice, even partial, has been done for Noa." She added that the operation brought a "certain sense of closure that offers some comfort" and thanked the security forces for their actions at the risk of their lives.
