The Israeli army has apparently succeeded in freeing four hostages from the clutches of Hamas. The people were rescued alive in a daring operation in the central Gaza Strip. All four hostages were kidnapped by Hamas terrorists on October 7 during the Supernova music festival.
Four Israeli hostages were released by Israeli forces on Saturday, the army announced. The rescued hostages are Noa Argamani, Almog Meir Jan, Andrey Kozlov and Shlomi Ziv. Israeli media reported that special forces had simultaneously attacked two Hamas locations in the central Gaza Strip’s Nuseirat.
Hostages in multiple locations
Hostages were hidden at both locations. According to initial medical examinations, all rescued hostages are in good condition. They were taken to hospital for further examination.
The operation carried out heavy airstrikes against Hamas locations in the region and in support of ground forces. Hamas health authorities reported a “large number” of casualties.
Noa Argamani is hugged by her father:
The fate of freed Noa Argamani, who was kidnapped by terrorists on a motorcycle while desperately crying out for help, deeply moved Israel. Her mother suffers from terminal cancer. The woman had repeatedly asked to see her daughter again before her death. “We are overjoyed to have you home,” Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said, according to his office. He spoke of a “heroic operation”.
War Cabinet is on the verge of collapse
Meanwhile, former Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz announced a speech for Saturday in which, according to observers, he could explain his withdrawal from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s war cabinet.
Gantz had called on Netanyahu in May to present a plan for Israel’s response to an end to the Gaza war by June 8. Otherwise, his centrist party will withdraw from the emergency government. Gantz’s spokespeople have not commented on the content of his planned speech. Political commentators in Israeli newspapers expect the minister to resign.
