On Saturday night, a video message from Noa, in which she spoke publicly for the first time since her rescue, was played at a protest in Tel Aviv calling for the release of the remaining hostages.

“As an only child to my parents, and a mother suffering from a terminal illness, my biggest concern in captivity was for my parents,” she said.

“It’s a great privilege to be here after 246 days in ****** captivity, to be beside my mother after eight months of uncertainty.”

****** and allied armed groups are still believed to be holding 120 hostages, including Noa’s boyfriend Avinatan Or, who was taken alongside her. At least 42 of the hostages are presumed by ******** authorities to be *****.

The others have been released, rescued or their bodies recovered.
