Heartbreaking final WhatsApp messages of October 7 victim, 19, before Hamas dragged her to Gaza & executed her
A TEENAGER sent heartbreaking final messages to her boyfriend moments before Hamas thugs dragged her to Gaza.
Corporal Noa Marciano, 19, was brutally executed by the terror group just weeks after she was abducted from Israel’s Nahal Oz kibbutz.

As terrorists rampaged through villages near the border, Noa sent a series of upsetting messages to her boyfriend, Roy, via WhatsApp.
Noa told him she could hear “screams in Arabic”.
She also wrote: “Roy, I love you very much”.
In her final messages, Noa told Roy she was unable to speak on the phone and said: “They could be here.”
Noa’s distressing messages sparked a flurry of anxious messages from Roy, who wrote: “Noa, are you okay?!
“Please give me an update! Please!”
In further messages shared by Bild, he wrote: “Noa, please, this really scares me, Noa.
“Noa. Noa, please.”
After Noa was abducted, Hamas released a horrifying video of her speaking on camera.
She identified herself and confirmed she was being held captive in Gaza before it cut to vile images of what the terrorists claimed was Noa’s dead body.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) branded the clip “psychological terrorism”.
Hamas’ military wing claimed Noa had been killed in an airstrike on November 9.
On November 14, the Israeli military confirmed Noa’s death.
But IDF spokesman Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari confirmed Noa had died – but said she had been killed by Hamas, not in an airstrike.
He added: “Noa was kidnapped to an apartment next to Shifa Hospital.
How Hamas eluded Israeli spies
HAMAS' horror October 7 massacre plot escaped Israeli spies in a catastrophic security failure that sparked a year of unprecedented chaos, experts say.
It was the catalyst that plunged four nations – Israel, Palestine, Lebanon and Iran – into war, killing tens of thousands and marking a historic shift in the Middle East.
Experts have branded the spiralling situation in the Middle East as “one of the biggest human rights crises in the world right now” – triggered by the October 7 atrocity.
Bruce Riedel, who spent 30 years in the CIA including a stint in Israel at the Tel Aviv embassy, said Israel is now “fighting a war on multiple fronts”.
“We’ve never seen anything like this in Israeli history,” he said.
Since October 7, Israel’s archenemy Iran has used its terror proxies to do its dirty work.
Hezbollah has fired rockets from Lebanon in solidarity with Hamas, while the Houthis in Yemen have terrorised the Red Sea by attacking any ships they deem to be connected with Israel.
Israel is also still razing much of Gaza as its troops look to wipe out Hamas and rescue hostages still being held by Hamas thugs a year on.
Another front has also opened in Lebanon after Israeli troops and tanks last week poured over the border on a mission to wipe out Hezbollah’s war machine.
And last week, Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu vowed Tehran “will pay” after making the “big mistake” of unleashing 181 missiles at Israel on Tuesday night.
He met with his war cabinet in a secret underground bunker to map out the blueprints of a devastating revenge attack on Iran.
Netanyahu’s response to Iran’s blitz could target oil production facilities or even its nuclear bases in a final blow to the tyrannical regime.
But experts believe this all could have been avoided if the October 7 attack had been foiled before it could happen.
Professor Riedel, who also served as a White House advisor, said: “Israel suffered a bigger defeat last October than it ever has before.
“The attack was on Israeli homes and villages and towns and bases. Israeli civilians, over a thousand, were killed and hundreds were taken hostage. This was unprecedented.
“And in the months since, thousands of people who live near Gaza and thousands of people who live near the Lebanese border have left their homes, which again is unprecedented.”
Kristyan Benedict, Crisis Response Manager for Amnesty International UK, told The Sun: “Gaza is one of the most under surveillance areas in the world.
“There are multiple layers of security barriers between Gaza and Israel. There’s 24/7 monitoring. There are human intelligence sources inside Gaza.
“So you’d have to say there’s a catastrophic security failure that has happened.
“Senior Israeli security officials, current serving officials, previous officials and intelligence officials have already said that on the record, and that there needs to be some form of public inquiry.”
“During the IDF strikes in Gaza, a Hamas terrorist who was holding her, was killed.”
Citing a pathology report, he said the teenager was wounded by an IDF strike, and later taken to al-Shifa, where she was murdered.
Days later, her heartbroken mother Adi was pictured sobbing over her beloved daughter’s coffin at her funeral.
A huge crowd filled the streets in Modiin as Noa’s coffin, with the Israel flag draped over it, was carried by soldiers.
Fellow military personnel were seen in tears as Noa’s dad Avi tried to comfort his wife.
Shockwaves were sent across the world a year ago today as Hamas terrorised stormed the border and rampaged through villages.

The terror group’s bloody assault on Israel sparked a year of bloodshed, with the Middle East now teetering on the brink of all-out war.
Israel is still razing much of Gaza as its troops look to wipe out Hamas and rescue hostages still being held by Hamas thugs a year on.
And Israel’s archenemy Iran has been using its terror proxies to do its dirty work.
Hezbollah has fired rockets from Lebanon in solidarity with Hamas, while the Houthis in Yemen have terrorised the Red Sea by attacking any ships they deem to be connected with Israel.
Meanwhile, another front has also opened in Lebanon after Israeli troops and tanks last week poured over the border on a mission to wipe out Hezbollah’s war machine.
And last week, Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu vowed Tehran “will pay” after making the “big mistake” of unleashing 181 missiles at Israel last Tuesday night.
It’s left the region on the cusp of seeing an all-out war erupt as leaders across the world call for an end to hostilities.
