The Israeli army confirmed on Tuesday (14) that 19yearold soldier Noa Marciano died in the Gaza Strip after being taken hostage by Hamas.
Her mother, Adi Marciano, took part in a campaign to free Israeli hostages and even went to the U.S. Congress to help prioritize support for the cause in a vigil held alongside the country’s congressmen.

Watch the video of the hostage rescue campaign in which Adi Marciano took part below.
Marciano was last seen on Monday (13) in a video released by Hamas, a day before her death was confirmed. In the pictures the young woman is calling for an end to the war.
Hamas said Marciano died in an Israeli attack on Palestinian territory, an already recurring version by the terror group about the cause of death of other hostages it held. Israel has not confirmed the version.
