Israeli Woman Recounts Harrowing 50-Day Captivity by Hamas

Noga Weiss, 18, was kidnapped from her home and faced a marriage proposal from her captor during her ordeal.

Noga Weiss was abducted from Kibbutz Be'eri during a Hamas attack on October 7, 2023, and held captive for 50 days.
Her captor proposed marriage and insisted she remain in Gaza to have his children, giving her a ring as a symbol of commitment.
Weiss and her mother, also kidnapped, were reunited in captivity; the captor sought her mother's approval for the marriage.
Throughout her captivity, Weiss lived under constant threat, fearing that her captors would tire of her and end her life.
Weiss's father was killed on the day of her abduction, and his body was taken to Gaza.
