Daring Rescue: Israel Frees Hostages in Hamas-Led Operation

 


In a daring operation, Israel successfully rescued four hostages who were kidnapped during a Hamas-led attack on October 7. The hostages—Noa Argamani (25), Almog Meir Jan (21), Andrey Kozlov (27), and Shlomi Ziv (40)—were freed in a complex special daytime mission in Nuseirat. The rescue took place in two separate locations within the heart of Nuseirat.

Hamas had initially abducted around 250 hostages during their attack on southern Israel. Approximately half of them were released during a weeklong cease-fire in November. However, more than 130 hostages remain, with about a quarter of them believed to be deceased. The situation has intensified divisions within Israel on the best approach to bring the remaining hostages home.

Saturday’s operation marks the largest recovery of live hostages since the war began, bringing the total number of rescued captives to seven.
