The parents of a woman who was taken hostage by Hamas have wished their daughter a happy 26th birthday.
Sharing a message via the state of Israel’s official account on X, formerly known as Twitter, they said they hope the messages will ‘somehow’ reach missing Noa Argamani.
Noa was reportedly abducted during a music festival on Saturday.
The post includes a photo of Noa smiling with a beautiful backdrop of mountains behind her, as well as the hashtag #HappyBirthdayNoa.
It is urging people to share the post as widely as possible so that it might reach Noa, who is believed to be among Hamas’s hostages.
Hamas carried out an attack on Israel on Saturday, which left more than 1,200 people dead, according to an Israel Defence Forces (IDF) spokesperson.
