Noa Argamani, a survivor of Hamas captivity, shared poignant memories on Instagram on Wednesday of friends who were killed on October 7th and in subsequent battles. In a video post, she documented her visits to cemeteries, expressing the difficulty of coping with the absence of her closest loved ones over time.
Argamani's post particularly focused on her friend Ori Tshernihovsky, who was murdered at the Nova music festival, from which she herself was abducted. Alongside a photo of his grave, she wrote emotionally, "I miss your voice every time you answered the phone with the phrase: 'The place to fulfill a dream of peace - how can I help?'"
She described her deepening sense of loss, especially as those around her try to return to normal life. "The pain is always here and sometimes it even gets stronger. This year when I went to visit my friends' graves, I felt it only got harder," she wrote openly about her struggle. Argamani articulated the gap between the reality of survivors' lives and the memory of those who are gone.
"Maybe because the hostages have already returned, maybe because I am no longer part of the struggle, or maybe because all of society has finished studying, moved to Tel Aviv and found work. And only you remain as an old memory," she explained. The post also mentioned other friends, including Captain Roi Biber, who fell in battle. Argamani shared photos of them together, writing, "I miss you every day, with every step I take. As time passes, I realize that more time has passed since we lost you than the time I actually knew you."
She stated that thoughts of her friends' cut-short lives constantly accompany her. "I think to myself, what would it be like if you were here by my side? You are an old memory of a previous life, an innocent, young, and happy life of friends who simply enjoyed life and dreamed big," she concluded.
