Noa Marciano was 19 when she was murdered by a civilian medic in Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza. The “healthcare professional” deliberately injected air into her veins to cause an embolism, which can cause chest pain, dizziness, confusion, weakness, vision problems and, ultimately, a fatal stroke or heart failure.Her torturous death was gleefully filmed by Gazans. In the video, Noa can be seen begging for her life. Then, the clip shows her sweat-drenched, lifeless body.That horrific video was sent to her father, Avi, via Telegram.Noa was among seven female soldiers taken captive alive into Gaza from the Nahal Oz military base on October 7, 2023. One of them, Ori Megidish, was rescued by IDF forces at the end of October 2023, and five – Liri Albag, Karina Ariev, Agam Berger, Daniella Gilboa, Naama Levy – were released as part of a temporary ceasefire deal in January 2025. Noa’s body was recovered by IDF forces in mid-November 2023 outside the hospital where she was murdered.Fifteen members of Noa’s unit, also women, were murdered by Gazan jihadists in the initial assault. In total, Nahal Oz lost 53 soldiers and officers, out of a total of 162 stationed at the base.Avi Marciano said that what he experienced “is the greatest nightmare I know of for any person to go through.” The video of his daughter’s last moments is seared into his mind.Let Noa’s story be seared into your minds, as well.
