JERUSALEM (Reuters) -Former Israeli hostage Noa Argamani — whose desperate cries on the back of a motorcycle became one of the most haunting images of the Hamas October 7, 2023, attack — was reunited on Monday with her newly freed boyfriend, Avinatan Or.

A government video showed Or, 32, first hugging and kissing his parents as his mother Ditza chants the Jewish “shehecheyanu” blessing voicing gratitude for new experiences on his return from two years of Hamas captivity in Gaza.
