    Hostage Survivor Shares Heart-Wrenching Captivity Story
    Israel Approves Controversial Hostage-for-Ceasefire Deal
    New York Stock Exchange Defies Tensions with Gains

    The time is now 01:00 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.

    As we turn to the latest developments in the ongoing conflict involving Israel and Hamas, significant updates are emerging from various fronts.

    In the wake of the tragic events that have unfolded since the October 7 attacks, Noa Argamani, a former hostage, recounted her harrowing experience during a recent exhibition in South Florida. Argamani was captured at the Supernova music festival, and her story has resonated deeply as she shared the emotional toll of captivity and the loss of friends during her ordeal. She highlighted the intense fear and desperation she experienced, particularly during a bombing that left her severely injured. Argamani's account serves as a poignant reminder of the human cost of this conflict, emphasizing her plea for the return of all hostages, including her partner, Avinatan, who remains unaccounted for.

    Meanwhile, the Israeli government has approved a hostage-for-ceasefire deal, garnering a mixed response from the public. In a decisive vote, 24 ministers supported the agreement while eight opposed it. The deal aims to facilitate the release of hostages held by Hamas in exchange for a temporary cessation of hostilities, a development that many Israelis hope will bring their loved ones home.

    Internationally, the situation remains tense as Russia continues its military operations, with recent reports indicating that three individuals were killed in a missile strike on Kyiv. This has raised alarms across Europe and prompted discussions about the broader implications for regional security.

    In economic news, the New York Stock Exchange showed strong performance over the weekend, with notable gains across major indices. This positive trend reflects a resilient market, buoyed by investor optimism despite the ongoing geopolitical tensions.

    As the night progresses, we continue to monitor these developments closely. The stories of the hostages and the broader implications of the conflict remain at the forefront of our coverage, reminding us of the profound impact these events have on countless lives.

    We will keep you updated as more information becomes available.
