Agam Berger, the 20-year-old IDF lookout who spent over 16 months in Hamas captivity, was the last of five female lookouts from the Nahal Oz outpost to be freed. A talented violinist who has played since age eight, Berger was captured just one day after beginning her assignment at the outpost on October 7, 2023. Throughout her captivity, she showed remarkable strength, with other freed hostages reporting that she maintained her religious observance even under the harshest conditions, refusing to cook on Shabbat despite her captors' demands.
To the melody of Shlomo Artzi's "Imagine a Beautiful World" and amid tears and applause from the crowd, recently freed hostage and IDF lookout Agam Berger presented a graduation ribbon at the IDF Human Resources Officers course ceremony. Agam was released just last Thursday after months in captivity.
