An Israeli couple who were kidnapped during Hamas attacks in 2023 have been reunited, two years after they were forcibly separated.

Noa Argamani and Avinatan Or were kidnapped from the Nova music festival on October 7. The video of Ms. Argamani being dragged fearfully onto the back of a motorbike by Hamas fighters became one of the most recognizable images of the attacks.

She was rescued by commandos during a raid on the Nuseirat refugee camp on June 8, 2024, but Mr. Or was held separately by Hamas in central Gaza, according to Israeli media, before being released on Monday.

In an Instagram post, Ms Argamani said that now the couple can begin "healing together".

After the reunion, Israeli media reported that they shared "their first cigarette together in two years."

A day after her partner's release, Ms. Argamani published an emotional post on Instagram, along with their first photos together since 2023.

"Two years since I last saw Avinatan, my love. Two years since terrorists kidnapped us, put me on a motorbike, and separated us in front of the whole world," she wrote.

She said she was held together with women and children inside the houses during the capture, "while Avinatan was alone in the tunnel."

“Hamas released videos and life signs from me, while there was no information at all about Avinatan,” the post continued in Hebrew.

She added that now they could begin the healing process.

"We won our personal fight and the fight of the whole world with us to reach this moment, and now it's time to begin our journey together," she said.

Ms. Argamani also thanked Trump for his role in returning the hostages home and for helping to "overcome the darkness."

Mr. Or's father told Israeli media the conditions in which his son was held - "scarce" food and much time alone, chained in tunnels during the 738 days of his capture.

"He is very weak," Yaron Or told reporters, adding that his son had had "no books, no human contact, nothing."
