After the incident on October 7, an Israeli lady whom Hamas detained for over two months disclosed that her captor had given her a ring and assured her she would have his children. Noga Weiss, 18, revealed to Channel 12 that she was two weeks into her captivity in the Gaza Strip when one of her abductors declared his love for her, as reported by the Times of Israel. Regarding her captor's ill proposal, Noga remarked, "He gave me a ring on day 14 [in captivity], and I stayed with him until day 50."

Cut off. "You will stay here with me and have my children, but everyone will be released," he said to her. Noga said that she "pretended to laugh so he wouldn't shoot me in the head" in response to the proposal. A few days later, the kidnapper informed Noga that he was going to bring her mother over to give her blessing to the marriage. "I believed that she had been killed and that I was alone myself. For the first time since they were both abducted, Noga informed Channel 12 of her first encounter with her mother, saying, "Suddenly, she's alive, and I'm not alone."

On November 25, Noga and her mother were let free together with the first group of liberated captives. Noga claimed that until the remaining captives were freed, she would not be able to grieve for her father. They have been there for a time that cannot be described. They once brought us a two-day supply of half-liter bottles of water. You cannot endure this way for 200 days," she wailed. Noga acknowledged that she had lost a lot of trust in the Israel Defense Forces as a result of what happened on October 7, but she still intended to enroll in May. "Seeing soldiers in IDF uniform on the day of my release was the first time [since October 7] that I felt safe, so that did change something," the author said.
