Galia Dekal, the sister of Avinatan Or, the partner of Noa Argamani who was kidnapped with her intp Gaza and remains a hostage, told Ynet in an interview about receiving the news of Noa's return from captivity: "Immense and incredible joy. On the one hand Avinatan is still there and it hurts, and on the other hand a great and moving miracle. They are two places in the heart that somehow do not contradict each other." She referred to the fact that Noa was the last Israeli to see her brother alive, and said: "From what we know, they were separated at the very first moment. It's chilling."
