Israel Confirms Death Of Captive Woman Soldier Shown In Hamas Video

The Israeli army on Tuesday confirmed the death of Noa Marciano, a woman soldier held captive in Gaza by Palestinian terrorist group Hamas.

A statement from the army called Marciano "a fallen IDF soldier abducted by a terror organisation," a day after the army confirmed her identity following the release by Hamas of a video showing the young woman in captivity.

On Monday, Hamas's military wing issued a video of Marciano identifying herself and calling on Israel to stop its bombing campaign, juxtaposed with a picture of her apparently dead.
