Freed Israeli captive Noa Argamani says she was wounded by Israel, not Hamas
Argamani denies reports that Palestinian fighters shaved her head and beat her during captivity, saying her injuries resulted from an Israeli strike
Noa Argamani, an Israeli woman freed from Hamas captivity in Gaza in June, said on Friday that her injuries were caused by an Israeli air strike during her rescue operation, not by a Hamas attack.
Speaking to diplomats from G7 countries in Tokyo on Wednesday, Argamani detailed her ordeal after she was taken captive by Palestinian armed groups during the 7 October attack. However, two days later, she issued a statement on Instagram, saying that some of her remarks had been misquoted and taken out of context.
Contrary to some Israeli media reports, Argamani clarified that she was not beaten or had her hair shaved by Palestinian fighters.
"[Hamas members] did not hit me while I was in captivity, nor did they cut my hair; I was injured by the collapse of a wall caused by an [Israeli] Air Force pilot," she added.

Obviously....
Someone was posting literal propaganda the other day (MBFC legit outright said it was a propaganda source) that said hostages had bullet fragments "in and near" them. Then jumped to the conclusion that Hamas shot them immediately before the raid because they knew IDF was mighty and strong or some shit.
Israel has been showing us for almost a year they dont give a single fuck about the hostages, they were always sacrificial lambs. An excuse to flatten the area they were being held so Israel can then move more rightwing Jewish extremists in.
I wouldn’t rely on MBFC to recognize propaganda. Look at the difference between VOA news and Al Jazera.
Fun fact, they’re both government rags. VOA was legally barred from broadcasting where Americans might hear it because it was propaganda. Al Jazera is operated by Qatar.
In any case, Israel has been full of shit since this began. And Americans have bought that hook line and sinker.
Al Jazera news is pretty good. Better than most American news sources. And being state owned doesn't mean it's propaganda. CBC in Canada and RNZ in New Zealand are excellent and reliable news sources
Al jazera is definitely respected; that’s part of what makes mbfc’s review of both so glaring.
I doubt VOA is any more critical of the US as AJ is of Qatar. But one, they go out of their way to excuse that it’s sole purpose really is propaganda.
