Agamiya was released after six months in an Israeli prison on charges of contact with a hostile organisation, illegal stay and various violations of state security.
She was captured excitedly calling for support for Hamas to unleash more terror towards Israel.
Agamiya cried in front of TV cameras: "We are the sword of [Hamas's military chief] Mohamed Deif".
Deif - the so-called "voice of war" - is the commander of al-Qassam brigades, Hamas’s military wing.

He is believed to have ordered the October 7 attacks and has spent decades hiding beneath the streets of Gaza remaining the "ghost"; that Israel could never kill.
Today, a truce between Israel and Hamas entered its fifth day, with the terrorist group promising to release a civilian hostage for every three Palestinian prisoners returned.
Israel agreed to free 150 jailed Palestinians as part of the initial ceasefire agreement and released 33 women and young men last night.
Israel said that all the released prisoners have been charged with violent crimes, many of which are terror-related.

Those slated to walk free include Ragah Abu Kias, who was arrested in 2021 for opening fire on Israeli civilians aged 16 and Marah Bechir who was arrested for stabbing a policeman in 2015 also aged 16, reports.
In a landmark prisoner swap back in 2011, 1,027 Palestinians were exchanged for one Israeli soldier, Gilad Shalit.
Those released included Yahya Sinwar, known as "Gaza's Bin Laden", who is believed to have masterminded the October 7 killing spree into southern Israel.
Israel Defence Forces spokesman Lt Col Richard Hecht previously branded the 61-year-old "the face of evil".
"He is the mastermind behind this, like Bin Laden was [with 9/11]."
Over 1,200 were killed during Hamas's bloody October 7 rampage that followed with some 250 being taken hostage.
Since then, Gaza's Hamas-run health ministry estimates 14,500 Palestinians have been killed in Israel's retaliatory bombardment and ground offensive.
It comes as Israel has accused Hamas of blocking the release of its youngest hostage, 10-month-old Kfir Bibas.
Hamas "no longer has control" of baby Kfir after he was allegedly handed over to another Palestinian terror group inside Gaza in a sick trade.
The infant was snatched by Hamas monsters from Kibbutz Nir Oz during their October 7 killing spree along with his brother Ariel, 4, mother Shiri, 32 and father, Yarden, 34.
The IDF claimed his family are now being held by a separate terror "faction" in the southern city of Khan Younis, which is expected to be a major target in Israel's next offensive.
Relatives of the family say they feel "great uncertainty" over their fates after none were released in recent exchange deals.
The move has raised fears that baby Kfir is being used to further leverage talks to extend the truce, which is currently set to hold until Wednesday.
On Monday, Israel and Hamas agreed a 48-hour extension to the initial four-day ceasefire as 20 further hostages are expected to be released over two exchanges with 60 Palestinian prisoners.
Israeli Prime Minister Isaac Herzog said that he had received a list of captives to be freed later today and was alerting families.
Last night, 11 more hostages were freed by Hamas after spending 51 hellish days in captivity.
Nine children, including three-year-old twins, and two mothers were released.
But the children freed last night have all left behind their fathers in the maze of tunnels underneath Gaza.
A report in Israeli media claims that female hostages were kept inside cages as more of the horrors of what the captives suffered come to light.
Roughly 170 Israelis are still being held hostage, but 40 are no longer under its control, a Hamas source told CNN.
This will make efforts to free some of the most vulnerable increasing fraught.
A total of 58 people, including 19 foreign nationals, have been released over the ceasefire's first three days.
But Israel has repeatedly vowed to resume the war with full force to destroy Hamas once it's clear that no more hostages will be freed under the current agreement's terms.

Israeli defence minister Yoav Gallant has vowed to use "the same amount of power and effort" on a renewed military assault in Gaza after the truce expires.
He claimed that Hamas is using the temporary ceasefire to prepare for the IDF's coming offensive.
