A woman who pleaded for the release of her daughter held hostage by Hamas has died from brain cancer less than a month after she was rescued.<\/p>\n

Noa Argamani was kidnapped from the Nova music festival in October and video of her being taken away on a motorbike made headlines around the world.<\/p>\n

Her mother, Liora, 61, said she wanted to see her only child again before she died.<\/p>\n

She finally got her wish last month when Noa was among four hostages rescued from Gaza<\/a><\/strong> by Israeli forces.<\/p>\n

Hours after her release, the 26-year-old visited the Tel Aviv hospital where her mother was being treated for stage-four cancer.<\/p>\n

At Tuesday’s funeral, Noa praised her mother for not giving up.<\/p>\n

“Thank you for being strong and holding on all this time, just so I could see you at least one more time,” she said.<\/p>\n

“Against all odds I was privileged to be with you in your last moments, talk with you, laugh with you,” Noa added.<\/p>\n

It comes days after Noa spoke publicly for the first time<\/a><\/strong> in a video calling for the release of the other Israelis taken in the October terror attack.<\/p>\n

Her boyfriend, Avinatan Or, remains a hostage.<\/p>\n

Ms Argamani said she wanted to “remind everyone that there are still 120 hostages in Hamas captivity”.<\/p>\n

She also thanked the Israeli forces who rescued her.<\/p>\n

Arnon Zamora, an officer in an elite police commando unit, died after being wounded in the operation.<\/p>\n

About 1,200 people died in the 7 October Hamas attack and some 250 were kidnapped, though dozens were released in a deal late last year.<\/p>\n

About a third of those still being held in Gaza<\/a><\/strong> are believed to be dead.<\/p>\n

Israel<\/a><\/strong>‘s offensive as it tries to wipe out Hamas<\/a><\/strong> has killed least 37,900 people, according to Palestinian officials.<\/p>\n

It’s provoked condemnation from many countries, as well as the United Nations, and concern over the plight of masses of displaced people.<\/p>\n

Israel insists it takes utmost care to protect civilians but says Hamas fighters deliberately embed themselves amongst Gaza’s densely packed population.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
